A new edition of Horror Gaming is up as we take a look at a Zelda: A Link to the Past CP. It's not often we get that many Creepypasta based on ALTTP as I usually see ones from Ocarina of Time. Most Zelda CPs are usually good and often contain decent writing in their stories. I can admit the quality isn't same as the Pokemon CPs or the MLP Grimdark fiction stories. However, these short writings are as good as the Metroid and Earthbound ones. Although I did run into a couple of bad ones such as Zelda II: The Lost Level which came from the early days. It wasn't until Ben Drowned (Majora's Mask) when the quality standard got set for the genre. That's how we got Zelda 3 Prototype and Zelda 64 Beta Creepypasta and its thanks to Ben Drowned. It's truly fortunate this series didn't go the same way Sonic and Mario went with their awful writing an cliche tropes.
In this CP, two guys who graduated college recently wanted to celebrate the occasion by having a retro gaming night. When they realized ALTTP wasn't in their collection, the guys went to a local comic book store to buy it. However, once they got back home and put the game on, it wasn't the same ALTTP but a fan hack of the original. The theme is really based on those ROM hacks that fans put together across the internet. I wasn't really surprised whether Parallel Worlds (one of those fan hacks) is what inspired the author to write about a made-up fan game. I love when the writers describe their experience with these ROM hacks within the plot. That is what originally attracted me into trying them out and actually enjoying some of them including Parallel Worlds. I'm also glad we have Zelda Classic and without it there weren't be a different way to replay the same style of games. After playing ALTTP, the same adventure just gets boring as you already have an idea how to play each session. So, will this ROM hack be a special experience or a haunting they will regret?

A new edition of Horror Gaming is up and this time we look at a Metroid CP based on a glitch. The story is about the Secret Worlds glitch from Metroid II as former gaming forum mod recalls an experience. The Secret Worlds glitch originally came from the first game on NES. It really isn’t a glitch but rather extra data the game stores when needed to load the overworld. That was how Nintendo got around the limitations of the NES and Game Boy. However, when using a cheat device like Game Genie gives any gamer access and allowing them to enter these data areas. It wasn’t until Super Metroid on Super NES is when Nintendo didn’t use extra data stored in the game to render its massive overworld.
For the story, I sometimes will come cross a Metroid CP every now and then to get away from the usual crap. For some reason Metroid and Zelda CPs have decent and moderate writing in their stories. That is a far cry from the awful writing the Mario and Sonic Creepypastas often receive. Usually, it’s always the Original or Super Metroid are the ones that get used for the theme. However, this is the first time I have seen an author use Metroid II as the bases for the plot. I haven’t found a Metroid CP that used the Secret World glitch to tell a haunting tale either. In most cases, it’s always a weird glitch that doesn’t exist or some being in the game that acted in a different way. The theme for this CP has a man recall one experience from ten years ago about unusual conversations. He remembers another forum member who explained his strange play through within the Secret Worlds. So, will he recall an interesting play through for an online forum member or a terrible experience he wanted to forget? Let’s find out… Metroid II: Secret World Review A new edition of Horror Gaming is up as I check out a rather old Creepypasta about a "haunted" Super Mario 64 cartridge. Yes, I know, it's been several months since I posted any Creepypasta reviews. Lately, I've had a lot on my plate so that made it hard to write another opinion based article on the internet's favorite creepy hobby. If you are new to the site then here at Horror Gaming, I write reviews on gaming Creepypastas. I remember back in 2012 where I first found these stories after looking through the SomeOrdinaryGamers channel on YouTube. Back then, most gaming CPs were really written terribly as seen from MaRIo and Sonic.EXE. In fact, they were so terrible that you can't even find some of them any more as they are no longer on Creepypasta wikia. I can't say they have gotten better aside from the original stories we went over such as The Theater. My hype for them has slowed down a little since CPs are becomimg redundant these days. The story its self is about a guy who after seeing an internet ad come up randomly on his screen about a Mario 64 cartridge on sale. Seeking to relive his childhood, the man buys from the mystery seller only to find out he got ripped off with a cart with no label. However, he tries the game anyway to see if it's the same Mario 64 he remembers all those years ago. He bought the game from a phanto...I mean mysterious seller on the internet, so what could go wrong? Just to make you all aware of this, the Mario CPs are often considered the worst in the genre. It's so bad that these CPs are on par with the Sonic and Mega Man stories. With a history of being terrible for Mario, will this be the one to break the horrible trend? Will the man remember the experience he got as child or will this lead him to something creepy? Jump in and find out... Super Mario 64 (Creepypasta) Review |
