We should start saying that kid that got the ~~Pac man~~ Tetris kill screen is the greatest arcade game player in history. Just to piss this weird old man with a dyed "beard" and cheap AF looking American flag tie.
Tetris? The recent record?
Yeah that one, couldn't remember which kill screen it was.
The Level 157 kill screen. Level 29 was called a kill screen because it's nearly unplayable. But around 2019, it was becoming routine for matches to be decided in post-29 play. The level 29 killscreen was jokingly dubbed the thrillscreen. (don't worry. the name didn't last.)
NES Tetris is pretty nuts. Here is the 100 lines speedrun record for anyone who may care.
