Could you at least watch the video before asking what is already answered? It's not exactly random, but also not exactly or necessarily in the same time/spot. The first chance to crash was some levels earlier, but he missed it. On that particular stage, clearing it required to get a single line to complete the stage, but he accidentally got a triple. He was both skillful and lucky as hell, to continue long enough to reach this particular crash.
As much as I can respect that take, we need to remember the limited hardware this game is running on. The kid maxed out both the score and the top score, and that likely triggered a crash from running out of memory, registers, or whatever.
there's no reason for your excitement buddy. the video shows a child getting gasping for breath after tetris freezes. i watched the video, at least the last minute. if there's a technical explanation before that, i'm glad you took the time to watch 40 minutes and were willing to share your expertise.
Well, it looks like the video here wasn’t the one I was referring to anyway. If you’re really interested in the info, this video is quite good:
This is like 10 times what was considered the human limit years ago. The game was expected to have a kill screen like 1/7 into this run. This is truly winning classic Tetris.
Yes! What's amazing also is to see him looking over at another screen sometimes, assuming his streaming chat, also while playing even. Talented to say the least.
That particular reply (and video) was to someone talking about GB version though. And with regards to NES Tetris, I don't think that's an excuse at all. It was simply lazy programming, because they never envisioned anybody ever getting that far.
Reading in to the history of competitive Tetris I don't think their was evidence of anyone even getting to level 30 until 2010.
