Michael "dogplayingtetris" Artiaga, 16, completed level 255 of Tetris on the NES without any mechanical assistance, causing the game to restart at level 0. Artiaga became the first person to achieve this feat, significantly raising the theoretical limit for the highest score.
Artiaga completed the feat in about 1 hour and 40 minutes, during which he cleared 3,300 lines. After celebrating, he continued playing until he finished on stage 91 after about 40 minutes, setting a new record of 29.4 million points.
From the NES version's release in 1988 until 2011, it was believed that level 29 was impossible to complete because the controller's directional pad couldn't move the blocks fast enough. But new button pressing techniques eventually allowed players to pass level 100, and flaws in the game's code that were designed to prevent gameplay beyond level 29 were also revealed.
When passing level 138, color errors sometimes make blocks hard to see and after level 155 the game becomes very buggy.
Back in January, Willis "Blue Scuti" Gibson reached the "hang" screen with the help of AI tools, becoming the first person to "complete" the game.
Artiaga used a “bug-proof” version of the game, but the NES Tetris crash codebase hid another obstacle—the levels started to get longer. At level 235, Artiaga spent about 20 minutes clearing over 800 lines of nearly invisible blocks.
