    You know what I LOVE about this? When the two guys are competing and the one dude hears about the other guy, he stops what he is doing and watches the other guys run and genuinely is happy that “he did it” even though technically it meant he lost the race. There is a genuine love of the game there.

    Having had a NES (PAL version) with Tetris as a game by myself as a child and seeing this long-term achievement here is just unbelievable. I did not know that there is this scene out there trying to "complete" this game.

      Competitive NES tetris is absolutely insane and there's so much going on in it, even right now. People are etching closer and closer to the genuine maximum level, 255, with only a bugged 800 line level blocking them. It's crazy to watch sometimes.

      nobody has gotten that far as to break the game,
      so, for a 13-year-old to do it is a big deal in the gaming world)

    Chasing an achievement is what showed us that there was absolutely no toxicity between these gamers. If people came together and worked together to chase down an achievement as great as this one, the majority of all gaming communities would feel amazing to be around. These guys all welcomed each other to succeeding, they congratulated each other, cheered each other on and hyped up one of the greatest things to ever happen. Passion on a level that cannot be touched.
    Perhaps I am not interested to play these games at all, and that’s ok! But, I am appreciative of the level of positivity these lads displayed for us, and I really enjoy seeing others succeed, that, I am thankful for. We need more personalities like this everywhere. The kind of people who celebrate success together on a competitive level.

      It seems kind of like when you are immersed in a language from birth, getting fluent in it is effortless because your brain is just living it and growing around it. Kids these days are born into technology-rich settings where getting as good as you can at a video game as a hobby is no longer seen as a "waste of time" because even some older folks know what e-sports are.

      That's because there really are no rivals in attempting to push a game to its limits. It is a MASSIVE community effort, Scuti is simply the one that made that one final push to finally getting the killscreen.
      Not to diminish his achievement, though - it is _insanely_ impressive. I just wanted to point out that this wasn't a competition to see who could beat the game first, but a huge collaborative effort to try to even beat the game in the first place

      It's also symbolic that the last level right before the rebirth screen turns to pure crimson red. Sort of feels otherworldly/heavenly to me like once you pass through this last level on a real NES a portal will open up to somewhere. Heck maybe a tetris genie will pop out and grant you 3 wishes.

      I don't know the history of the term "hell level" in games, where it first came up, but yeah, it's like Tetris ends in hell, and if you beat it, you're reborn... It's mythical.
      Not sure I like being born into a neverending Tetris game, but that's another matter.
      Honestly, most of us won't play an hour of Tetris, let alone 3-5 hours a day, so the story is a bit odd from this perspective - it's like climbing Everest - we're all impressed, but left wondering why...
      I guess it's just because we can - set a mind to a goal, take that journey, and see it happen - it's magical.

      It really feels like a fighting sports anime arc. The protagonist starts in the village, wrestling against increasingly difficult local wrestlers. Then the protagonist gets invited to a tournament to fight against pro wrestlers. Then the tournament gets infiltrated by forces of evil. Shady individuals with strange powers are challenging our protagonist. Two of them, nicknamed "Dusk" and "Charcoal" serve as mini-bosses that give the protagonist particularly hard time. Then after a few more battles the final boss appears: "Crimson Demon" (I don't know what it's called, I'm just guessing it's a really cool name) And after finally defeating the final boss and earning the champion's title, the protagonist can go back to his village, where he wrestles some kids for fun.

But everyone that has dabbled in gaming since the late 80's and early 90s knows where your joy came from. We've all been there.. Im not on my friends level, but I still remember how I felt when beating my Wolverine game on my PS3. It was insane. And i used to have a Tetris and Pong clone on my Amiga 600 so i remember the old 8 bit games too. Cant. Wait to see what you'll do next regarding Tetris. Cheers from Denmark. 😏

So yeah, same goes for watching football, it's not that I find that any better than this Tetris thing. But at least there is a difference with football cause if you practice it then you actually improve physically in ways that are measurable. Your body does change in a positive way. It's not the same for Tetris, where playing or watching is pretty much the same level of usefulness, which is low imho.
