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 Note: This is not a game but a gaming Creepypasta review.
A new edition of Horror Gaming is up as this time I will be checking out the Zelda 3 Prototype Creepypasta. During the 90s, years after A Link to the Past's release in 1992, there was a rumor of Nintendo having a NES beta of Zelda 3. Its been assumed according to this rumor that Nintendo could've been testing an early concept for their next Zelda game. However, many have always thought the reason this got scrapped is because of the Super NES and how its ideas got moved to ALTTP in 1989. Unfortunately, despite how awesome that actual sounds that Zelda 3 might have saw some development, this is in fact false. Meaning, there was never a NES beta of Zelda 3 as in 2005 this rumor got debunked by the Hylia.com. In the article, they explain that a man claimed he had the original beta for sale and try to pass it off as the truth. The man even made a mock up image of Zelda 3 in a red font that he loaded to an NES cartridge so he could display it on an old CRT TV. As it turned out, the Hylia showed evidence that the concept was no more then a thought written on a scrap of paper. In fact, you can still find the article which I will link in the review and even posts a various message boards from 2005. Honestly, its a shame the rumor wasn't true especially when the story gives us a good idea what Zelda 3 could've been like on the NES. I remember a while ago when I was searching for information on this topic is when I discovered a message board of someone showing off Zelda II in a overhead style. It just makes you wonder what if Nintendo actually made Zelda II in that manner. Interesting enough the style does in fact look brilliant using the graphics from that game. As for the story, it is about a man shopping for broken Zelda NES cartridges so he could make them into a harmonica for his friend. That's when he goes to one of those second hand shops in his area and discovers that the store owner had a copy of the rumored beta. So will this end up being a unique rare find or something the man should have declined in buying? Come in and find out... Zelda 3 Prototype Review A new review from Horror Gaming is up as I take a look at a Pokemon Creepypasta once again. The story is about a man who wanted to find another used copy of Gold Version. To his luck he manages to find one in his grandmother's basement because she used to collect Pokemon related items for him when he was younger. This is obvious one of the few times a Pokemon Creepypasta isn't about the first gen games that so many writers always stick to. However, will this be the same experience he always remembered? Or something that should have remained in his grandmother's basement? Come on in to find out...
Pokemon Tarnished Gold Review A new edition of Horror Gaming is available as I take a look at a Zelda Creepypasta about the infamous Zelda 64 Beta. The story is about a guy finding an obscure Zelda N64 cartridge containing the beta of Ocarina of Time. Will this be a rare experience or something Nintendo wanted to keep hidden forever? Come in to find out... Zelda 64 Beta Review A new edition of Horror Gaming is up and the story has a guy retell a story from his childhood of one glitched Pokemon he recalls. This glitch wasn't the infamous MissingNo but an unlikely one called Glitchlett which as you guess was a glitched Diglett. What is so creepy about a glitched Diglett that has this guy want tell it so much? Well come on in to find out...
Glitchlett Review On the new edition of Horror Gaming, I take a look at another original gaming Creepypasta called Pale Luna. The story is about an obscure PC text based game that was said to be made by an unknown develop during the 80's. What mystery lies behind an old PC game that is urban legend? Well click the link to find out...
Pale Luna Review There used to be an old section on this website called Horror Gaming and these were reviews on gaming Creepypastas. On the first edition of this reboot, I take a look at one of the original gaming Creepypastas titled The Theater. It was a game that was released around the time Doom came out in 1993 and it's considered a myth as no company was ever credited for its design if one were to find it. The Theater Review |
