34 years after its launch on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES),  a 13-year-old gamer has shattered a long-standing barrier in Tetris, beating the game for the first time since its launch by achieving the infamous “kill screen” after a 40 minute playthrough. The teen dedicated the achievement to his father, who passed away a week ago.
