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.
