How does one beat Tetris?
You play it until it breaks
Seems like it would be a bug in the original game then. It can be fixed.
Many old arcade games have this, and they are called "kill screens". There is no programmed "end" to the game, you just keep playing until it runs out of memory, and then just goes all wonky. Some examples: https://gamerant.com/most-infamous-kill-screens-in-video-games/
Game rant went ahead and fully blocked access if you’re using an adblocker? Guess I don’t care enough about their articles to unblock, but still annoying.
I get the sentiment but just in case you wanted to know there is a small grey link at the bottom of that box that says Continue for now or something. It will allow you to read the article.
I noticed that a lot of websites use this particular plugin/service to detect adblockers and they all have this feature which is good for now.
Seemed to work for ublock origin on Firefox mobile.
But then it wouldn't be the original game anymore
