Line 3:
I recently moved into a new apartment. Just like a little kid, I fully explored my new place, checking every nook and cranny. As I did this, I came across a small cardboard box tucked away in the back corner of one of the closets.
 
Intrigued by what the last people who lived there may have left behind, I pulled the box out and opened it up. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. Inside was two N64 controllers, sadly in poor condition, and a few N64 classics: Mario 64, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Conker’sConker's Bad Fur Day. I was mostly excited about Conker, having loved the game when it came out. However, it had some deep scratches on it, and the label was mostly torn off. Clearly being an abused game, I had doubts that it would even work.
 
Nevertheless, I was overcome with feelings of nostalgia as I thought about the cartridge, and eventually decided to plug it into my N64 to give it a try. It took a couple of times to start, as even my best working games do, but when it booted up, it seemed to work alright... if anything, a little glitchy. It appeared to be missing the opening cutscene where Conker walked into the bar, the music seemed to be a little off, and the random characters that were usually in the bar were gone. Minor glitches for a majorly fucked up game, so I thought little of this and started up a new file. Once again, no cutscenes to speak of.
Line 35:
With no control over Conker, I could only watch as he stood before Death shaking and crying. He stayed like this for an uncomfortably long time. Eventually, a text box appeared.
 
"My, haven’thaven't you been the lucky one...."
 
The camera panned across the grotesque and bloodied bodies until another message interrupted.
Line 125:
 
 
I have not played that game since, and it had really changed my opinion on Conker’sConker's Bad Fur Day.
 
I suppose, in conclusion, if you happen to find a game cartridge that somebody left behind, sometimes it is better not to know what it holds.
