13-yr-old gamer becomes first to beat the 'unbeatable' Tetris, by breaking it

13-year-old Willis Gibson becomes the first player to officially "beat" the original Nintendo version of Tetris by triggering a kill screen on Level 157. The game glitches and crashes at this point, making it a highly coveted achievement in the gaming world. Tetris CEO Maya Rogers congratulates Willis on this extraordinary accomplishment, noting that Tetris will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year. Willis' victory is considered a monumental achievement, as many had long considered Tetris unbeatable.
