rummaging around my shelf with all the old video games on it to try and find any PS2 games, I came across my most favorite game of all time. “Oh my Gosh!” I said, “It’s my old Crash Twinsanity!” Crash Twinsanity was an old Crash Bandicoot game in which Crash and his arch enemy, Dr. Cortex, had to team up and fight these 2 alien birdlike twins. I couldn’t even wait to slap it into my PS2.



I ignored all the scratches and claw like marks on the back and front. When I put it in the Playstation, The game started up with the same title screen, except for the background being blue, it was just white. I thought it was just the scratches, so I moved on. When the loading screen popped up, the one where Crash and Cortex are doing some silly thing, all I saw was just Crash looking at the floor, the only light in the room was just a dim spotlight pointed at Crash.

Before you get to the title screen, there’s always an animation of a frozen Cortex and Uka-Uka, Cortex’s evil flying mask. But it didn’t show that, it just skipped right to the title screen. When I went to load game, there were no save files. That’s strange; I remember having one where I had gotten 100% completion. I clicked on new game instead, and started on the first level. But when I started, it was kind of different. Crash moved a tiny bit slower than usual, every few seconds, he would twitch violently, and the music always played backwards and real slow.

And when I paused, it didn’t show the level name, it only showed this very happy, so happy it was creepy, Crash. He had this deranged smile on his face and was just staring right at me. I kept playing the game, despite some technical glitches in the game. When I finally got to slip-slip- Icecapades, the part where you surf on Cortex, was different. When Crash was about to kick Cortex over the ledge to start the game, Cortex turned around, and what I saw horrified me.

Cortex looked scared, he had bags under his eyes, he had red eyes, like when you open your eyes in a chlorine pool, his yellow skin was paler, and his body looked like he had been beaten and his clothes were torn. He then told Crash to get away, but he refused. Crash got closer, looking scarier as he did.





<span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">When he was almost nose to snout with Cortex, he whipped his head around to look me. I jumped back in fear. Crash had a lazy eye, his shoes were ripped had a hidden shoe knife coming out of the bottom, the tan fur on his chest had red blots on it; his teeth were sharp, and his face, Oh God that insane face was what gave me the most nightmares. His eyes were big and had those red veins in them; He looked scared and happy at the same time. He finally looked back at Cortex, and simply just shook his head, because he can’t speak.

Crash then proceeded to just eat his neck, Cortex screamed in pain. It was a mix of a pain scream and a scared shriek. He threw Cortex, still screaming and holding his throat, over the railing and he jumped after.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">When the level started, I could barely hold back the vomit, it was gruesome. But at this point, the game was playing itself. It finally let me play after he got off of N. Gins ship and had gotten to the boss. I pressed one button and it went to a cut scene. It showed Crash devouring N. Gin piece by piece, then throwing the metal part of her head out.

Crash just jumped down and threw Cortex and what was left of N. Gin in the chef’s big cauldron. Crash just strolled out of the room, slowly. Then another cut scene appeared. It was the Crash in the dim spotlight, still looking at the floor. The screen started to show static and it got ever more blurred. Finally it all went black.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The next thing that happened shocked me. The spotlight had shown again and Crash was hanging, with a chair that had fallen on the floor. The light started to fade and I heard crash laugh demonically. Then a text popped up on the screen. It read “Want to play again?” When I clicked no, it said, “Good choice!” and the game started again at the first level. I took the disc out, and threw it at the wall and crushed it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">When I looked at the crushed pieces, those scratches on the disc were now black and spelled out,“Want to play again?” I screamed no and it rearranged itself to say, ‘Good Choice!” The last I remember, is all the lights in the house shutting off, and a dim spotlight in my living room
