Ducktales: Cursed Treasure

Glitch hunting. I'll NEVER do it again until the day I die. I was just bored one day on a rainy Friday at 11:00 AM when I decided to play some DuckTales on the NES. I do remember seeing DuckTales glitch videos by Mike Matei so that kind of inspired me to start playing. I did pretty much all the glitches he mentioned but... there was this one glitch I will never forget. Great, now the bad memories are FLOODING back.

How to do it and what happens

Okay, here is how you do it, You fight Dracula Duck 3 times. Beat him when the time strikes 2 the first time, 5 the second time, and 6 the third time. Die the first two times but get the treasure on the third one. After that, the background should turn black, the timer will disappear, then Scrooge will start moonwalking. While all of this was happening, I started to hear a little ghost girl slowly say the numbers 2... 5.... 6... Yes, 256, the number of incoming doom. After that, I was shown a horrifying flurry of split-second frames of mangled, ripped apart corpses of all the bosses I have killed while hearing what sounded like Daisy Duck screaming in reverse. After THAT hell of a sequence was over, Scrooge just slowly started to decompose while some quiet, unsettling whispers were playing. All I know is that I thought I heard that same ghost girl say "Satan, look at me now". By the time Scrooge was nothing but a pile of rotting, pixelated meat, it just left the game with that image for 2.5 seconds before cutting to a "Game Over" screen with a bunch of demonic laughing playing at full blast.

The Aftermath

I was just sitting there, in a fetal position, crying. Just sobbing so hard that my tear ducts felt like they were going to bleed. After 6 secons of this, I finally gained the courage to take the game out and burn it while choking on my own tears. 2 months have passed since this occurred and I am disturbed, easily frightened, depressed, anxious, and having severe insomnia. I went and talked to a therapist but all he gave me were some little perscription pills that don't do anything. Nothing works now, I am scared, Help me.
