The falling-block video game Tetris has met its match in 13-year-old Willis Gibson, who has become the first player to officially "beat" the original Nintendo version of the game -- by breaking it. Technically, Willis -- aka "blue scuti" in the gaming world -- made it to what gamers call a "kill screen," a point where the Tetris code glitches, crashing the game. That might not sound like much of a victory to anyone thinking that only high scores count, but it's a highly coveted achievement in the world of video games, where records involve pushing hardware and software to their limits.

The blocks keep coming and the game itself gets reinterpreted, twisted and remade for new generations. Now, a 13-year-old boy has become the first person to'beat' the NES version of Tetris, 34 years after it was first released. Yes, 'beat' goes in quotes because there's no way to complete the game. Instead, he played such a flawless game that he forced a kill screen, from an overflow error. While he's the first person to do this, but not the first time it's been achieved: An AI program called StackRabbit forced a kill screen with the NES Tetris back in 2021.

Tetris is one of the most popular and enduring video games of all time, with versions on just about every console, computer and gadget. Many of these iterations have endings baked into story modes and the like, but the original endless mode was considered unbeatable by humans, until now. A 13-year-old boy has become the first person to'beat' the NES version of Tetris, 34 years after it originally released back in 1989, as announced by YouTuber aGameScout. The reason we put'beat' in quotes is due to the nature of the achievement. Oklahoma teenager Willis Gibson, also known as Blue Scuti on YouTube, didn't access an authorized ending, as there isn't one.
