I found this an interesting watch it is about the race to get to the 'killscreen' and the techniques used to beat previously unbeatable levels. As well as asking the question what next?

He'll also be humming the tune until he's 45

I had a similar experience playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 on PlayStation. I was able to string together a whole 2+ minute run as a single combo such that the score actually started going down rather than up. The PS1 literally couldn't cope with my sick score

He must have been in a zen-like state to do that.

And 13 year old reactions help too!

The only score based machines i've broken are stress machines

Link: Tetris: US teen claims game's first ever 'rebirth' - BBC News

 

A US teenager is the first known person to get classic video game Tetris to reset to level 0 after beating it.

 

Michael Artiaga, 16, claimed the historic moment of so-called "rebirth" while livestreaming himself playing Nintendo's version of the game on Twitch on Sunday.

 

It took him 82 minutes to successfully clear level 255 on Tetris - the game's highest. Artiaga, who streams as "dogplayingtetris", celebrated and watched in shock as it started again from scratch.

 

"Am I dreaming, bro?" he asked viewers, saying he was in "disbelief".

 

The teen carried on playing and eventually finished with 29.4 million points.

 

"I'm so glad that game is over," he added, as he prepared to wrap up his stream.

 

"I never want to play this game again".

 

He was reportedly playing an edition of the game made for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) console that prevents crashes after level 155.

 

The game's crashes and kill screens have marked the efforts of other young streamers hoping to set new records.

 

Oklahoma teen Willis "Blue Scuti" Gibson claimed to be the first to ever beat the game earlier this year when he reached level 157 in 38 minutes before it crashed...
