I have always been a BIG fan of Blinx 2. In case you don’t know, Blinx 2 is a game where you play as a cat and use time controls to control your environment, or play as a pig and master space. I wanted to relive the nostalgia, so I went on Ebay and found a copy.
The game came in 6 days later and I was excited. After I got the package from the mailman I looked at the box. The tape... I dont know why, but it seemed a little odd. Like, it was oddly refletctive or something, I don’t remember. It really freaked me out, but I desperately hoped for the best that nothing was wrong. I opened up the box and looked at the cover. The cover was fine, except it was replaced with construction paper that redrew the original cover in marker. Although it said Blinx 666 instead of Blinx 2 and the cats were drawn looking sad. It seemed a bit peculiar, but I thought nothing of it.
I took the CD out of the case and plugged it into the Xbox. The title screen came up, only it also said Blinx 666. Instead of “Masters of time and space, it said “Masters of Pain and Death”. The sky was a dark gray, and the big crystal in the middle of the screen was blood red. I assumed it was just a minor glitch, so I pushed start and went to the save screen. The save file said “Go back now” as the name of the team for the cats, and “Before it’s to late” as the name for the pig team. I opened the save file and played as a cat, and went to the hub, but the hub looked darker. As i turned the camera, I could see cat bodies laying everywhere with blood. I decided to go into the shop. As soon as I went in, instead of a message greeting me and being able to shop, the message just said “You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?” And I was booted out. I was getting a little tired of this, so I just went ahead and just jumped into the portal to the first level, the only one that was open. When the level started, the sky was a dark red, and blood was splattered on the ground. The message that the cat captain said to me was “You will DIE”.
I went through the level, and went past those spiky enemies, but they looked realistic. I did the part where you have to use a pause time control and move the water out of the way to activate the buttons, but there was blood rather than water. I went on through more of the level, and shot garbage at the pigs in the chairs. When their health was up, blood flew everywhere, and they let out well-acted screams. I went up to the box, but it was hyperrealistic. I broke the box, but, instead of a key, what came out was ME! He had an insidious facial expression,with bright red blood leaking from his black eyes, and he killed my character with one punch. Then the screen said “Your next”, and went to static.
I took the CD, and broke it, through it in the trash. I then took the TV and threw the remote through it, smashing the entire set to pieces. I took my console and smashed it with a hammer, then threw away the hammer and dumped the pieces of the xbox into the ocean. But every night I still see the ghost of the CD every night, watching my every move every night.
