The Tetris game, which took the world by storm when it was first released in 1984, was defeated for the first time. A 13-year-old boy broke new ground by beating the 1988 version of Nintendo’s iconic game in just 38 minutes.
Willis Gibson from Oklahoma earned the “True Killerscreen” award by beating the Tetris game in 38 minutes on live broadcast last month. So far the game has only been beaten by AI.
Gibson has been playing Tetris since he was 11, practicing three to five hours a day. Gibson later turned this interest into a hobby and participated in gaming tournaments many times; He even finished third in the tournament in October.
After his success, Gibson said, “I came to the tournament with the hope of getting into the top 16 and I exceeded the goal. I was especially excited to play against some players I met online.”
Tetris is a simple but almost addictive game in which bricks falling in various shapes must be quickly rearranged to form a solid wall. The video game was first created by a Soviet engineer in 1984 and reached the United States in 1988.
The game became a phenomenon and remains the best-selling video game of all time, with more than half a billion downloads on mobile devices alone.
Gibson explained that he had come close to crashing the game in previous games but was never able to do so: “My biggest struggle was my nerves kicking in after 30 minutes of play.”
Gibson dedicated his historic win to his father, Adam Gibson, who passed away in December.
