@JimHays @ChristopherRandles thanks for sharing these links! About a month ago @AshtonIvanov asked that I clarify with or without crash skip enabled. Last month I added [without crash skip enabled] as part of the criteria for this market to resolve yes. Good luck on your big bets, there is still plenty of time!

It took him 82 minutes to successfully clear level 255 on Tetris - the game's highest. Artiaga, who streams as "dogplayingtetris", celebrated and watched in shock as it started again from scratch.
"Am I dreaming, bro?" he asked viewers, saying he was in "disbelief".
The teen carried on playing and eventually finished with 29.4 million points.
"I'm so glad that game is over," he added, as he prepared to wrap up his stream.
"I never want to play this game again".
He was reportedly playing an edition of the game made for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) console that prevents crashes after level 155.

@EstMtz A few people have gotten higher but people aren't really going to go for runs w/ crash enabled until rebirth happens without it. here's the link to the spreadsheet with all the records https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZBxkZEsfwDsUpyire4Xb16er36Covk7nhR8BN_LPodI/edit?gid=2046616260#gid=2046616260
