Line 7:
Once home, I went up to my room and hooked up my old PlayStation, popping the game in for a fun night of retro gaming. The game started up with its usual logos and opening cutscene, but that is all that was familiar about this game at this point, because instead of showing the title screen, it just dropped me into the first level. This made me wonder if this copy had been tampered with or if it was just old and scratched, but I just shrugged that off and began playing. To my surprise, everything seemed to play correctly...that is, at the time it seemed to play correctly. That would change pretty soon after.
 
There was a door on the other side of the level, so I made Croc go over there and go through it, but then…itthen...it froze on a black screen. I thought the game had been scratched, and went to turn the power off when I heard creepy music, that sounded like a slowed down version of the theme in a lower pitch, coming from my TV. I looked back up, and was greeted with Croc standing in the middle of a completely red, flat space. I tried pressing the directional buttons to move him, but to no avail.
 
Croc simply just stood there, staring behind him as if he was looking right at me. Then the screen flashed white for a second and then cut to a black screen with some white text, reading "You shouldn't have came here, you know, this isn't a safe place." And then cut to another level, but this level didn't seem like a level from the game, but something…unspeakablysomething...unspeakably horrific added in by a hacker. Croc was now standing in the middle of what appeared to be a dungeon, two of the walls covered in rusty, blood splattered spikes.
 
I tried the directional pad again, and Croc yet again refused to move, as if this was some kind of cutscene. At this point, I was afraid to do anything but watch as there was a loud, metallic creaking noise, which made Croc look around with a horrified look on his face.
