Teen achieves first NES Tetris “rebirth,” proves endless play is possible

Dogplayingtetris blasts past 3,300-line rollover in two-hour, 29M-point endurance test.

good work, teen

My first thought was: this is Tetris, and I read all the time about how code-crunchers and data miners find secrets buried in modern AAA games (IE, "upcoming DLC??") So like, couldn't people just look at the code and know this was possible?

Quarter note = 1800 ahhhhhh!

Frickin' amazing! 😍🤩🥳🥳

How the heck do you play a run like that in only around 80 minutes?! It takes longer to hit the score limit in the original release of Lumines!

It's wild how this game is twice their age and they're like "nah I got it, hand me an NES pad", beautiful

ah ok that explains it, modded to fix the killscreen
