TBF arcade versions are much superior to the console ports. Just like recently they made mortal Kombat forhome consoles but it’s was quite more defective even on genesis compared to the arcade machines.
Nope. There’s a whole thing where a human can’t move the joystick quick enough on full speed to clear the blocks so they invented a new method of tapping the joystick. This only got discovered in the last decade, and meant world record holders went from games at level 29 to games in the hundreds. This kid played until the game’s memory couldn’t cope anymore. That’s now the competition, pushing it until it crashes and hoping it happens on a higher level than the last person. The only achievement beyond this is mid-200s level when the game would roll over to 0. But that’s basically impossible because it’d crash far before that.

I’m pretty sure that many 13 yos beat the game when it came out. He isn’t the “first”
Nope, reaching that screen of the game is a true first for any human.
It cost a quarter a play. Do you know how much money It would take to become that proficient? In '80s money?
If you’re playing it at an arcade it would cost a quarter. This is the NES console version of Tetris that’s being discussed.
