"Oh my goodness. There's no way. There's actually no way," Artiaga said during the stream. For several minutes, he paced around his room, flopped on and off his bed, and laughed in disbelief.
After the 'rebirth,' Artiaga rallied for a second go and made it to level 91. Artiaga technically isn't the first to 'beat' Tetris, but he is the first to do so in such an impressive manner.
The original honor goes to another teenager, Willis 'Blue Scuti' Gibson, who beat 'Tetris' earlier this year, but could 'only' get to level 157 because the game crashed.
Once you get to level 138 and beyond, you start to run into serious memory overflow errors. When Gibson reached level 157, glitches forced the game to end on a 'kill screen'.
