Are these guidelines for a challenge or contest? If these are sitewide rules for any story about a haunted video game, it seems really restrictive. In particular, rules 1 & 2 could mess up a story stylistically. If you're worried about length how about a required word count instead?

rule 5 seems too subjective. If the descriptions of gameplay are interesting then what is the problem? People are either good writers or not. To ban a plot device that a good writer could knock out of the park would be silly.

rule 6 gets a big BOO from me. My favorite haunted video game pastas are the ones describing games that don't exist. http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/The_Theater  for example.

rule 8. why? what is considered "legitimate"? "purchased" why did money have to be used to procure it? What if I got it from my attic? A childhood friend? Found it in an alley?
