We Beat The Machine

quote [ The story of a 13-year-old gamer crashing the NES version of Tetris in a record-setting run is one of the best stories we have going right now. ]

While it's certainly very impressive to reach such levels of performance I have a strange feeling about "beating" the game. It sounds more like playing an old game "until it breaks". Reminds me of Donkey Kong and Packman roll-overs - but maybe I'm just getting old?

Let's recall that a lot of early games never had endings. They just got faster and faster until user can no longer keep up simply ran out of pre-coded levels (exactly like Pacman). The intention of developers wasn't some sort of a goal, but instead the goal was to play. Also, yes, we are getting old.

The tetris rom has been beaten several times with AI/Code doing the movements and supposedly this is the first time it was accomplished by a human.

According to what I know about humans, this shouldn't be possible.
