    He is probably some Dyslexic kid with some wonder 6th sense. Abit like my cousin he can just about write his own name yet he can finish a Rubix cube in 30 seconds, He is a maths wizard and a can do a host of other near impossible things.

    Amazing stuff in that video

    I think you mean Autistic, and they simply need pattern and repitition to feel grounded, normal life being far too disordered to be coped with.
    This is why they like, well, Rubiks cubes, creating order from disorder.
    Unfortunately Tetris does not reward order with anything but more disorder and so a true person on the autistic spectrum would find Tetris very uncomfortable to watch never mind play.

    Nothing is, however, always true in these cases though, that is there are always exceptions to every rule.

    Sorry, my line of work occasionally intrudes upon my love of videogames!

    Amazing. Yeah, I doubt this guy is neuro typical.

    You would seriously need to play that game constantly to be like that. The thinking involved, especially in those invisible bits. It's mind boggling.

    Just found this thread, that game is tetris the grand master 3. seems to be a very popular version for serious players.

    I thought I was pretty good at tetris but remember Asian fellas in the early 90's in the pierrot club in dublin who were amazing. Checking on twin galaxies I would be close to being in the top 10 scores on arcade atari though the top 5 were way out of my league -now I am not that good so knew the real tetris lads must be playing something different than atari tetris.

    I got 2 versions of TGM for mame and it is a really good version. I do not have version 3, just 1 and 2. You need a special patched version of mame as I heard the makers, Arika asked for them to stop supporting it.

    Not sure if I can link to a patched mame.

    That's crazy, I can't help but feel like it's a fake... Either that or he's learned off the order of the pieces and where to put them. (Or do they appear at random?)

    When it comes to Japan, you best believe it's real... Lunatics

    I saw another guy clear that bit on youtube, and he claimed to be the first "westerner" to do so.

    I imagine they have practised that bit very well, not looking at what is on the bottom. You can see at the top they get to see the next 3 pieces so it is a lot easier than when you can see just 1 piece. When the game is going that fast in normal visible mode it is very handy to have memorised where blocks are and just be looking at what the next brick is, rather than have to scan the bottom.

    I had a go on the death mode and it is easier than I thought it would be, still shockingly hard but when the bricks fall you can still move them about for a split second and sort of slide them around more than you would think.

    Yeah, I was obssesed with Tetris on another site, and was getting pretty dam good at it.

    Just following patterns, then one day, a guy in work wipes me out of the water with his score.

    Great introductory article to the scene.

    If I attain wealth, TGM3 arcade cabient and board will be my first purchase.
