NES Godzilla Creepypasta

About

The NES Godzilla Creepypasta is a creepypasta story about a video gamer who uncovers several disturbing characters and modified levels in a Godzilla: Monster Of Monsters^[2] game cartridge for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Story

The story is written from the perspective of Zachary, a young adult video gamer who had received several NES cartridges from a friend. After loading the Godzilla: Monster of Monsters game, he notices that there are a number of strange Kaiju (giant monsters) and features he did not recall seeing when he played the game as a child. However, his initial joy at discovering what seems to be a modified version of the game quickly turns to fear as he is encountered by the being Red (also known as the Hellbeast), who begins to torment the monsters in the game.
