    That’s how many levels with the color scheme where you pretty much can’t tell where the blocks are?

    What a legend!

    A few years ago it was sensational when someone managed to clear a few levels in max speed. Now all max speed levels have been beaten.

    What’s next for NES Tetris? Feels like it’s more of an endurance game now.

    It’s insane that this happened so quickly after Blue Scuti’s kill screen.

    It’s still wild to me people are continuing to break records in classic Tetris. You’d think they’ve reached the peak long ago, but they somehow continue to impress!

      Some guy played to level 255 and it rolled back to level 0, (that’s the rebirth). Then he played to level 91 after that. To answer an unasked but important question: he did it on a ROM and not a cartridge because it’s pretty damn likely a cartridge would have crashed long before this point. Even on this particular ROM there are a bunch of ways to crash it (there’s loads of them documented).

        Did he use an original NES controller with the ROM or a modern controller? I know I have a hard time getting the 40 year old controllers to respond fast enough at higher levels, though I haven’t tried the bump control method.
