    This isn’t the first time it’s been “beat”, I regularly got a high enough score that the gameboy would reset…

        I’m sure I’m not the only one. The secret was playing the extra hard mode, after that the hardest normal level was a piece of cake.

        For those who didn’t know or don’t remember, iirc you held down select while the system and then the game booted up. If you saw a heart somewhere on the screen you were in the secret harder version of the game. I could look it up but I am instead trying to plumb the depths of my memory, it’s been over 3 decades.

      Without knowing if the source is accurate, it’s about the NES Tetris not the Gameboy Tetris. So saying someone has beaten GB Tetris isn’t really relevant.

        Correct, but, look at the title, it says beats tetris, not which console, that’s what I was responding to. Plus if you want to be technical about it, hitting a kill screen isn’t the same as beating a game, especially with a game like tetris that in it’s original form doesn’t actually have an ending.

    I love that the guy he was competing against saw he was live and on a good run, and watched and celebrated live with him when he reached the kill screen. Super wholesome :)

    It’s actually pretty crazy that he missed the first opportunity for a kill screen and had to go through a few additional, never before played levels before he got lucky and hit the scenario that cause the crash.
