A 13-year-old from Oklahoma appears to have finally done the nearly impossible: He beat Tetris. Willis Gibson is believed to be the first human gamer to reach level 157 of the classic video game nearly 40 years after its release. “I’m going to pass out, I can’t feel my fingers,” Gibson said after his feat caused the game to crash in a video posted to YouTube Tuesday. “When I started playing this game I never expected to ever crash the game, or beat it,” Gibson wrote in the video’s description. The viral video of Gibson’s 38-minute game, posted under his “Blue Scuti” screen name, is the latest spike in nostalgia for the addictive and enduring game created by a Soviet engineer in 1984 and popularized on the Nintendo Entertainment System. To date, over 200 official variants of Tetris has been released on at least 70 systems, a world record according to Guinness World Records. The Electronic Arts developed mobile version released in 2006 has been sold 100 million times, making it the third best-selling video game of all time, according to a Hewlett Packard report last year.
