Sonic.exe II
My name is Craig Borgen. I have loved Sonic games all my life. I have every single Sega console and every single Sonic game. Well, so I thought.
I was looking on eBay to find something Sonic related for my little brother's birthday (we all are pretty big Sonic fans) when I found a rather strange looking Sonic game. It said "SONIC.EXE" in all caps, I felt like it was a title of a story on trollpasta. Anyways, I decided to give my brother my old Tails plush and bought the game for myself. The guy only made me pay $1.00 to buy it. Seems like he wanted to get rid of it or it's quality was bad. Either way, it was Sonic, so I had to buy it.
About a week later, it arrived. I waited about two weeks for my family to leave me home alone all night so I can play a sonic marathon. Once they left, I immediately popped it in the console and started playing.
It looked like the original Sonic game! I was stoked, because my current one is very glitchy. It showed the normal Sonic intro, but it flashed for a split second. All I could make out is that Sonic's eyes were black with a red dot in each and were bleeding. Kinda creepy, but I thought it was just a glitch and continued.
It started out with three characters on the character select screen. There was Cream the rabbit, Rouge the bat, and Metal Sonic. That was weird, because none of those debuted in the first game. I must have bought a hack. Oh well, I have all the real games, might as well start my collection of hacked versions.
I picked Cream and started the level. It was named "No hope". That was weird, but maybe it's just the first part of the game where Robotnik (I refuse to call him Eggman) would do something bad and it would seem like no hope was left until Cream saved the day. It started on a mountain. I climbed up and all seemed normal, except there were no enemies. Soon I saw little splats of blood on the side of the mountains. Cream looked at the screen and looked scared. I was creeped out, the way she broke the fourth wall as if to warn me to turn back was rather unnerving. Nonetheless I continued climbing. There I saw Sonic on the top. Cream was trying to get Sonic's attention. Sonic opened his eyes and slowly turned around. His eyes...they were black...with red dots in the middle of each. His eyes seemed to have blood under the eyes. He said "Hey friend! Wanna play a game?". I was freaked out. Cream kinda was to and she backed away slowly. Sonic spoke again. "Let's play tag! I'll give you a head start! 10..."
The cutscene was over. I ran down the hill. Sonic kept counting as I ran down the seemingly endless mountain. Once he got to 1 I kept running and Sonic slowly but surely caught up. Once he caught me the screen went back and I heard a screaming noise. Sonic then said "You were too slow! Wanna try again?".
It went back to the main menu with one of the save files filled up with Cream's dead body. I was unnerved but picked Rouge and started on the next save file.
It started on a level called "Where's god now?". I was repulsed, but then again I was an atheist so it didn't offend me as much. Rouge arrived in a dungeon. I made her move and walked around the creepy dungeon. There was blood everywhere, and a few dead children on the side of the dungeon wall. I threw up, these were hyper-realistic and looked very real. I continued when suddenly I couldn't move. It must have been a cutscene. Running was heard from the distance. "Run you idiot!" I said out loud. The running sounded closer and I could finally control Rouge again. I ran but once again, that sadistic hedgehog slowly caught up. Once he caught me, he ripped Rouge's body apart and blood flew everywhere. I was greeted with Sonic saying "You were too slow! Wanna try again?".
I, at this point, decided to take a break. After a quick Soda and some ritz crackers I was ready to go, ready to see what this sick hack had in store. I picked my last option, Metal Sonic, and I was ready to go. I entered a level that didn't even have a title.
Metal Sonic started in Robotnik's (Once again, I refuse to call him Eggman) lab. I made Metal Sonic travel through the destroyed laboratory. There, dead Badniks and other destroyed Robots remain. I was sick and tired of this game, but curiosity got the better of me and I continued. Laughing was heard and Metal Sonic started running as fast as he could. I couldn't even control him, maybe Robotnik's AI he installed was rather brilliant. Unfortunately, Metal Sonic made it back to the beginning, only to be met by Sonic. I watched in horror as Metal Sonic was daughter and viciously killed. Sonic appeared, with his terrible face and terrible eyes. "That was...fun! I look forward to playing with you again, Craig!" How did that ass know my name?!
The disk popped out. I was so angry! I just lost a awesome game console. I screamed in anger and cursed Sonic.exe. That monster traumatized me AND ruined my console! I was about to start crying on my bed when I saw a Sonic plush with those eyes. Those f*cking eyes.
