The Video Game Adventure
You realize you have the wrong game when a screen pops up saying,
"Press Start to enter the Video Game universe."
"This isn't the game I got!" you shout furiously before
dropping the controller. You watch it hit the ground, landing on the
START button. You glance at the screen again.
The screen changes from a yellow text on a purple background to a
screen filled with brilliant light.
In fact, the light was so dazzling that you thought you would surely
be blinded. So you closed your eyes untill you sense the light is
gone.
When you do open up your eyes, you find yourself in a large, black,
dome-like room with a mirror floor and tiny specks that dot the
otherwise total darkness of the walls. You do feel as though you were
floating in space....
Although the walls of the giant complex were black, there was some
sort of light in which you can't see the source of. It is by this
light you see a strange lady in queen-like robes with a scepter of
gold in her hand, decorated by a ruby. Just beyond her you see a
strange orange tile with the marking of a sun. You also see that the
lady possess's a necklace with a square bead at the end that looks
just like the tile.
The lady speaks: "Welcome, to the Video Game Universe, where you
may enter any video game in the world by stepping on the tile behind
me and shouting the name of your destination. What you see around you
is some of the video games you can venture into..." You look
around you, and you see that the dots of light{as they get closer} are
really moving scenes of different video games. "If you need
come back you must wear this." With that she hands you the
necklace she was wearing. "Just wear this and call out "The
Video Game Universe" and you will find yourself back here. From
here you may also go home, when the adventure is over."
You think to yourself that this must be a dream. Go into any video
game? Any one at all? Absurd. But you take the necklace and step on
the tile anyway. Wouldn't hurt to try it out, you tell
yourself.
Yes! You finally got the game you had been waiting for, the Emperor
of Zaladak 3! You are so excited that you slip the C-D into your
Playstation without glancing at the title, which did not say the
Emperor of Zaladak 3 at all.
