It was a fresh summer morning when me and my family went to the annual flee market.I'm a hardcore nintendo fan, so I immediately started looking for stands that sold nintendo games.
After a while of looking I found a stand that sold N64 games.
-"You got Zelda Majoras Mask?" I asked. It was one of my favourite games as a child, but I traded it for a version of SuperMan 64 and never got it back.
The man looked at me weirdly and answered.
-"I have this copy here, but it's pretty dusty and might not work."
-"Well how much do you want for it?"
-"5.99, and it comes with an expansion pack."
-"Sounds like a deal" I said and bought the game.
When I got home I turned on my custom N64 and loaded the game it had two save files " " and ".dk.6.4.", I chose the empty slot but the screen went black and showed an error message:"[(8m) {uO5y}]"
Though I haven't seen error messages in N64 games before I decided to take the game out of the N64 and clean it. After about half an hour of intense cleaning I loaded the game again. This there were only two save file slots left " " and ".dk.6.4.".
"What the heck?" I thought "How the f***k could this happen!? HOW THE F**K DID THE ONLY EMPTY SAVE SLOT GET PERMENANTLY ERASED FROM THE GAME!?"
So I loaded ".dk.6.4." It loaded on the 4th day with Link wearing a Donkey Kong mask?! At that point I knew somebody hacked the game! Being a collage student in a programming class I knew
it wasn't impossible to hack a cartridge but it sertanly wasn't easy and would take a lot of time to do! So I got excited.
-"WOW" I thought "It must have taken a lot of time and effort to do this, I wounder for how much I can sell it on eBay?
So I tried to take the game out of the N64 without even turning it off. A message appeared on the screen "You're not selling me on eBay Jack!". My name is acctualy Alex but I got f*****g scared anyway, so I grabed my controller and trew it at the TV screen. Coincidentally it so happaned that my roommate Josh filmed it and posted the video on Vine. Yes, I'm the raging game dude
and now you know my story.
