It was a first for the world-famous video game Tetris. American 16-year-old Michael Artiaga made history as the first person to reset the classic Tetris game. Artiaga broadcast live on Twitch while playing Nintendo’s version of Tetris and shared the historic moment with thousands of viewers.
Tetris reset itself for the first time!
Artiaga experienced his moment of rebirth by reaching level 255 and resetting the game. After reaching the maximum level, the game reset and started again from level 0. It took exactly 82 minutes to achieve this success. While he was playing, he said to his audience:Am I dreaming, friends? Expressing his surprise by asking, the young actor could not hide his shock. Afterwards, it reached 29.4 million points and “I don’t want to play this game ever again,” He started to prepare to close the broadcast.

In this version of Tetris, the crashing and crashing problems previously encountered by other players were eliminated. Another young player, Oklahoma’s Willis “Blue Scuti” Gibson, also claimed to be done with the game earlier in the year when he reached level 157 and crashed after a 38-minute game.
Tetris was designed by Soviet engineer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984 and has remained popular worldwide with hundreds of different versions since then.
The game’s simple mechanics and increasingly difficult structure make it both a fun and frustrating game. While the players try to destroy the different falling shapes by combining them in horizontal lines, the game ends as the game speeds up and the blocks pile on top of each other.
Tetris returns renewed after 40 years!
The Tetris game series is celebrating its 40th anniversary today. Major updates have been rolled out for two mobile games.
Artiaga is a player who has already made a name for himself in the world of Tetris competition. In 2020, when he was only 13 years old, he became the world champion by beating his older brother in the Classic Tetris World Championship final. After achieving this success, Artiaga “I can’t believe it… I’m the first one to achieve Rebirth!” He expressed his happiness by saying. He also did not forget to thank his fans who have supported him over the years.
