You wouldn't love a nice acknowledge from uncle Woz?

Wozniak was obsessed with Tetris, and would send his high scores to Nintendo Power Magazine.

Eventually, since nobody was able to touch his scores, Nintendo Power asked him to stop, so he (Steve Wozniak) started submitting them as "Evets Kainzow", and at least one of his scores was printed under that name.

So, yeah, he has a history as a (the?) Top human player of Tetris in an age past.
