Mostly Harmless: Difference between revisions

I just want to say that I'm real damn proud of you. You learned way more than I expected you to while keeping your friends, life, and sanity intact. I have tried to do the same on others before, and some didn't take my teachings so great. Remember those "heavy metal suicides" of the 80s? Do you still think that Ozzy and Judas Priest had anything to do with those? They didn't. I think I did it on a cart of Ninja Gaiden for the NES. As you would imagine, the gameplay was slightly different. It's been a while, but I think there was a boss that you couldn't beat no matter what, who was nailed to the wall in the shape of a cross. My objective was to make it clear that I could come in any form at any time, but it didn't quite work, mainly due to graphical limitations. The subjects I tested found themselves unable to stop thinking about the music I put in there, so they figured listening to their favorite bands would help it. It didn't. Keep in mind, this was way before the invention of the creepypasta, and people weren't used to seeing or hearing anything scarier than Nightmare on Elm Street. This was on the third day, when their moods got especially bad and the hints of suicide in the songs only enhanced the mood. I suppose they figured, "If this doesn't work, what will?", and pulled the trigger. I had to flee the scene before anyone put 2 and 2 together and figured out that my game could have had a hand in it, and thus, people blamed Tomorrow's Dream. It's been about 30 years since then. Technology has improved, making video games more popular than ever. I tried it through a Sonic ROM on one other kid who was just like you, only not as bright. He couldn't decipher anything I was trying to teach, and decided to upload it to the Internet as a prank. I quickly gave up trying to get through to him, and wanted to possess his computer and take the game down, but I figured "What's the point?" My plan was to distribute the game anyway. Wow. This has gone over 2 kilobytes, so I'll leave you with this: You're a good person, Mike, everything I couldn't be. Load the .gen file into your Genesis emulator. I think you'll enjoy it more than my first game.
