In the 1990 Nintendo World Championship competition, Tetris was the game to beat. The winner, Thor Aackerlund, is still seen by many as the best to have ever played. Today’s Classic Tetris tournaments are played on that same version of Nintendo Tetris, using original NES game systems, controllers, and Tetris cartridges. In 2009, a player named Harry Hong became the first to achieve the highest possible score of 999,999 points. Inspired by this achievement, filmmaker Adam Cornelius produced a short film about Harry called “Max-Out”, and launched a Kickstarter campaign to document the world of competitive Tetris. As word of Adam’s Kickstarter campaign spread, rumors of max-out scores from other Tetris Masters began to surface, threatening the supremacy of Harry’s achievement. With the help of Nintendo World Championship veteran Robin Mihara, Adam searched for all of the Tetris Masters he could find. Jonas Neubauer emerged as an early max-out artist, along with the elusive original champ Thor Aackerlund. The idea of bringing these and other NES Tetris Masters together to compete in a live tournament became an obvious and irresistible proposition which was artfully captured in the 2010 feature length documentary Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters. Under the leadership of producer Vince Clemente, The Classic Tetris World Championship is currently held at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, an annual event which has hosted the tournament since 2012. Chuck Van Pelt and his organizing committee have built the PRGE into the largest classic gaming expo in the country, drawing around 10,000 attendees. Every year the scores get higher. Rivalries are revisited once again, and new players emerge to challenge the old guard. Over 100 players have maxed out the score now. Will you be the next? ecstasyoforder.com thectwc.com

YO shoutout to sharky repping the DAS in 2022, bro got some mojo to turn up to a competative tournament ruled by rolling and post kill screen play. mad respect for showing up and having fun. and actually competing hard not letting the disadvantage of the playstyle pressure him. i wanna see more of this. i cheered so hard at his 2nd maxout.
Watching Sharky getting the maxout at 1:44:59 is absolutely intense.He played so calm and collective in those post 19 digs!

Watched this qualification livestreamed, and was really rooting for Sharky (I love seeing DAS in action) - it was soo intense towards the end and such a beautiful finish!

That was some save by Fractal in the second game. Amazing stuff.

That just refers to their highest score that wasn't a max-out (1M points).
There may be a point where elite level versus matches will be races to maxout (lines or time).

It was the highest number of maxes achieved in 2 hours EVER. It was a world record performed on the main stage and it also revolutionizes the way players might approach qualifying under that time control. It was also really the first time that 19 start maxes were shown to be a superior strategy to 18 start maxes in a qualifying sitting
Sharky!
