A teenager from Oklahoma appears to have become the first person to "beat" Tetris.
Willie Gibson posted a video on YouTube which shows the moment when the classic video game crashes as he reaches level 157.
The stunned 13-year-old gasps: "Oh my god ... I'm going to pass out."
"I can't feel my fingers, I can't feel my hands… I'm going to pass out," Willie adds, as he tries to catch his breath. "I'm shaking so bad."
It took the teenager, who goes by the name blue scuti on YouTube, just 38 minutes to cause the game to crash - which has never been done by a human.
I have to admit, I didn't realise Tetris ever 'finished', and I assume the programmers didn't either: they must've intended for it to go on 'forever', with the only limit being the player's reaction time!
Still, it astonishes me how players have continued to push the limits of these classic games, all these years later!
