#WhatAmIMissing - 13 Year Old "Beats" Tetris

article image placeholder13-year-old becomes first human to beat the original Tetris game
I'm not trying to call you old by any means. I didn't grow up playing Tetris that much. I had it on my calculator in math class. When I got home, I played what I considered the real video games is going to be a spicy one. I've probably ruffled a few feathers with this, but make it make sense, people. What am I missing?

#AskSwell @Phil Surely there are more difficult video gaming feats out there? Right? https://s.swell.life/SU0VnnqcGNM3Eue

Good question

So, I don't know. I think maybe it's more of, like, almost serving as a commentary about the ongoing battle between AI and humanity, who will win? Okay, maybe that's a little dramatic, but that's my initial thought

And you have to remember, back in these days, the reason why these games end and why they have a glitch like this is probably one, due to programming, but two, it is hardware constraints. And this is an eight bit game originally and designed for. It had its own arcade game. But it wasn't until 1989, when it was released on Nintendo, that it really gained popularity and everybody was playing it
