Were there any stuff that scared you in video-games?

[Kosheh]

The game over screen from the first Donkey Kong Country gave me the creeps when I was little.

Actually piggybacking off of this, I was always afraid to get a game over in DKC games because of this. 

I used to play around with a Game Genie with some of my games when I was younger, but the only game I really used it with was Super Mario World because it was too hard for me as a kid without infinite lives. One time I tried using it with DKC2 and I got the scariest error screen my little 8-year-old mind could process. 


(I could've sworn the screen had a red overlay and said "An error has been detected." at the top, making it even more chilling)

I never used that Game Genie agan. I was horrified.

Sure I could've used a "master code" to work around it but oh my gosh the damage was already done lmao. I didn't want to be Diddy Kong in that image.
