Quest 69: Difference between revisions

The game he offered, Mark stated, was Quest 64, for only one United States dollar. Mark, having never played that game before, thought it appealing to try a new game, especially an RPG for his favorite non-handheld console. Mark noticed the poor state the cartridge seemed to be in, most notably the fact that the sticker art was torn off, and the only thing that described what the cartridge was, was some crude black Sharpie® writing that read 'Quest 64'.

I asked Mark how this pertained to the state of ~~distressed~~ in which I found him. To my shock, he replied that the Quest 64 game contained my disturbing images and scenes, and that it felt real.

~~Simultaneously~~ intrigued and frightened, I told him we would play the game immediately. Mark reluctantly agreed, stating that with my presence he could muster the courage to see more of it.

We made our way to Mark's home, where I found out the reason Mark was able to leave was that his parents were out at a party. We promptly went down some stairs to his basement room, and stuck the game in the system.

Things seemed okay at first, but for a brief second, the screen flashed and he saw an image, one that sent a chill down his spine. It was ~~the~~ main protagonist, Brian, with an ~~evil~~ smile. He had blood-shot eyes, burned skin and torn clothing. If that was not enough, his hair seemed different, the normal cowlick seemed almost phallic. Furthermore, the game said the console was the Nintendo 6664, rather than simply 64.

Mark said he no longer wanted to do this, and I felt a small amount of vomit enter my throat, choking it back down. I told him that we needed to keep going.
