The dumb kid who bought a game from an old creep

[the Hive by Kevin MacLeod begins to play on a loop]

Hey guys its me _______ here, welcoming you back to another episode... of haunted gaming. Today we take a look at the creepypasta, Ben the kid who buys video games from a van that says free candy on it.

I never considered myself a smart kid, that's what I said to convince myself that it would be acceptable for me to buy video games from a 90-year-old ex-con who lived down the street from me. My friends used to talk to me about how much they love their Nintendo Switches and their PS4s, but I constantly argued with them about how games are only good if they're from the stone age. After about three years of arguing I finally won the debate and lost all my friends, but I don't need them, only sonic. It was then that I decided to take an adventure into the attic of my family's house; my dad always told me "never go up there son, there's some creepy shit going on, just leave it alone till we call the ghostbusters" but I went up in that bitch anyways... I wish that I didn't. I ascended the creaky old staircase, as my head peaked into the room, I scanned for something, anything that could be deemed as "creepy". The walls seeped with blood and there was a dead body out in the open, so I figured it was completely safe to continue into the room and dig through a bunch of my parent's old crap.

After an hour of digging around, nothing in the room caught me by surprise until I stumbled upon a black chest at the back of the room. The label on the front of the chest that read "never open" only intrigued me more, so I undid the lock (with my fingers) and cautiously cracked it open. "WHOOOAAA" I thought to myself, "a Sega Genesis!" being an avid fan of retro video games I had never seen one before. I immediately sprinted down stairs and plugged it in, "heehee my parents aren't home and I'm gonna play this console they didn't want me to obtain from the attic", I said out loud to myself in my empty house. It was then that I realized I didn't have any games for the console, all I had were these awful games for the Xbox One that my parents bought me. "UUUUUUGGH!" I mumbled quietly. I walked out the front door of the house and marched forward until I came upon, what looked like, a garage sale. I walked into the garage, in search of the sale but what I found was a tall skinny bearded man whom I recognized from a predator watch list. He said "what're you searching for my prettttyyyyyy", and I was like "im looking for some dope video games, not that you would know anything about that old man, I guess its time for me to make like a tree and get out of here". "WAIT", said the old man, "I have a sick video game that you're going to love, they don't even sell it at the four video game stores you passed on your hour long walk here". I thought to myself, "how did he know I passed four video game stores on the way over here, this guy must be legit" so I followed him.

He took me to a nearby lake and said "my son drowned in this lake years ago" I said, "wtf I say I want a video game and you take me to some stupid lake to mourn your dead kid, UUg-" I stopped when the old man pulled out a cartridge from the bottom of the lake. After he pulled out the cartridge, he reached in again, this time he pulled out a video game. It was a copy of the Legend of Zelda. "WHOOAA, my favorite Sega Genesis game", I thought to myself. The old man gave it to me, and I somehow teleported back to my house. Excited, I plugged in the console, put in the video game, and turned it on. I recognized that something was slightly off about the game; there was a large pentagram on screen instead of a triforce and sonic had... hyper realistic eyes <('o')>. When I pressed start, a loud shriek came out of the screen as if I just killed mario.

After a brief load screen, the first level booted up but for some reason it read "dead hill zone" instead of what it usually reads, "delfino plaza". Sonic and tails were on screen but I couldn't control them, they just stared blankly at me with their hyper realistic eyes. Then sonic slowly turned towards tails and in a low deep voice he said, "you did this kid, gotta go fast, lets do it to it, I want a friggin chilli dog" and he decapitated tails. I was too horrified to watch, I wanted to look away, but I couldn't, I had to keep watching. Sonic turned and looked at me before he continued in his booming satan-like voice, "for disobeying your parents and being adopted, you deserve this" then my vision flashed white, it was as if I had been solar flared by krillin. All my senses were numbed, I gained back my hearing first. Faintly, I heard a song playing, by now I was petrified for my life, the song sounded twisted and demonic almost as if it were Halloween themed. As my vision faded back in, so did the clarity of the sound... "I ain't gonna let it get to me, I'm just gonna creep, down in pumpkin hill I gotz to find my lost piece". Soon I was able to make out the image on screen of knuckles rapping. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed, "NO NO, ANYTHING BUT THIS!". Sonic's voice returned along with his hyper realistic eyes, "you will be forced to listen to knuckles rap for two hours" he said. "NOOOOOOO, PLEASE KILL ME" I shrieked, "I WOULD RATHER BE DEAD!". After the most painful two hours of my life the sega genesis shut down and exploded. I had learned my lesson, I would never play another video game... again.

Wow, I must say that was a pretty fantastic creepypasta. Welp, this has been another episode of haunted gaming, thank you for watching, now I'm going to turn off my camera, scroll the dark web and make videos about internet drama.

It was done, after years of arguing, I finally won, I lost the support of the creepypasta fanbase, but I don't need them, only sonic...
