In December 2023, a 13-year-old boy named Willis Gibson from Oklahoma became the first known person to "beat" the NES version of Tetris. At level 157 (which in itself was a world record), he reached the game's "kill screen", a feat only accomplished previously with machine assistance. A video of his victory was uploaded to his YouTube channel "Blue Scuti" on January 1, 2024.

He seems to have a decent head on his shoulders. I really don’t think we need to draw any more attention to that “journalist” than she’s already received.
