Ever since I was a young child,
My favorite character to play as was Morrigan Aensland, my brother telling me that she came from a series known as Darkstalkers, a sister series to Street Fighter that was very popular over in Japan and accordingly still was. Hearing that it was like Street Fighter, I really wanted to try to play it since I really loved that genre of game.
My brother told me that since the series was rather old, the best chance of finding a copy of the game would be at a store in our local mall called
A few days later, I managed to stop by the mall on the way home from school, deciding to check out the store my brother had recommended to see if I could find anything relating to the Darkstalkers series. To my luck, there was a copy of Darkstalkers 3 available for the PS1, although the box did look like it was indeed used by someone else, seeing as the Darkstalkers logo had been scratched off of the main cover.
Other than that, the game looked in great condition for a used copy, so I decided to purchase for the cheap price of $10.00. Taking it to the checkout counter, the clerk looked at the game strangely for a few seconds before scanning it and handing it to me. I asked him what he was looking at but he
Arriving home, I pulled out my old PS1 from out under my bed and blew off the dust it had collected over the years I

The screen finally began flickering as the opening video had started, showing what seemed like water dripping, the screen then flickering again as the dripping water changed red, changing into blood as it dripped and dripped into a large pool on the bottom of the screen.
Line 17:
As the blood continued to drip, a large figure rose out of the blood-filled screen, a strange figure with large appendages that seemed to include long fingers, a pair of wings on its back, and wearing what looked like a thick jacket. Its head rose up and stared straight of the screen, its eyes completely red as they began to leak out onto its coat, presuming it was blood.
The screen then cut to a woman with long green hair, Morrigan, sitting on the floor, curled up in a fetal position on the floor, wearing no clothes. She was crying softly as a girl with short purple hair tried to comfort and support her, all as strange images flashed in and out of the video, all flashing in and out seconds at a time. I could barely make out the images, but the images looked like some of the other characters
The first picture was that of the Werewolf, Jon Talbain, being stabbed through the neck by a little girl wearing a red hood, her face wearing a twisted smile as blood poured out of
The next picture was that of a character I knew from Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Felicia the Catwoman, however, this picture was even more horrifying than the last, as I could see her being eaten alive by these bee-like creatures, her skin being ripped off of her back as she was stabbed in the stomach by a stinger. The laugh of the little girl then came back, this time much louder than the first time as it went back to Morrigan crying, slowly zooming in on her face more and more after every picture seen.
Line 25:
The final picture seen was that of the same being from earlier, its red eyes dripping as its mouth slowly opened itself into a demonic-looking smile, the screen cutting to black as the laugh came once more, this time the laughter was mixed with what sounded like someone screaming in agony. This scream didn't sound like an in-game scream either...it sounded, no, it felt like it real.
The screen then showed Morrigan for the last time as her eyes opened, looking up as she murmured something in Japanese, the subtitles on the bottom of the screen reading
For a moment, I just stared at the letters, trying to contemplate what
The characters were mostly normal in both their portraits and the sprites underneath them, all except for the fact that like the disc cover, they were all terrified of something, all of them seemingly looking at an empty spot on the character select screen at the very top, a place where the supposed "Boss character" was supposed to be selectable to play. Not thinking too much of it, I selected Morrigan and I was taken what looked like a map of who I'd be facing in each match, my first match being against a character by the name of "Hsien-Ko".
Line 83:
Gritting his fist, he pulled her head right off of her neck, the screen then fading out into the results screen that showed a shot of Jedah holding Morrigan's head by the hair. The winning text read in a grim style of text, only reading, "There is no Savior". I wanted to puke, for it all looked so vividly real, especially since this was supposed to be a bunch of pixels packed together.
I couldn't take it anymore, I wanted to end this horror show, and I wanted to be free of the madness. I got up and ran over to my television, unplugging the PS1 and pulling open the disc drive by force to get the disc, only to see in my horror that the cover of the disc had changed. The cover was now almost completely black with the Darkstalkers title seemingly dripping down the disc as the eyes that were in the background now looked up, almost feeling as if they were looking directly at me. The disc also read on the bottom in small red letters
I screamed as I threw the disc across my room huddled up in the corner of my room, too terrified to even move. It
My brother looked at my disc for a few seconds then chuckled, saying he was amazed that I managed to find a copy. I wanted to tell him, I wanted to show him the horrors
My brother looked at me with confusion, asking me why I would do such a thing to a game series I wanted to play so badly. I finally was able to regain my voice, only replying with the phrase
