''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130912071510/http://nesgodzillacreepypasta.blog.com/category/chap1/ NES Godzilla Creepypasta]'' (Blogspot mirror [http://nesgodzillacreepypasta.blogspot.com/2012/03/chapter-1-earth-mars.html here]) is the artistic spawn of [http://www.bogleech.com/ Bogleech] Member Cosbydaf. It relies on a combination of first person narrative and edited videogame screencaps to tell its story.
 
One day, our protagonist is given a bunch of NES games by an old friend of his. Being an enormous Godzilla fan, he starts with a nostalgic favorite, ''Godzilla Monster of Monsters''. Shortly after beginning, he finds that the game is glitched, presumably from a hack. At first he's delighted to find that the game includes monsters that weren't in the original. He becomes suspicious when he faces extremely recent Godzilla enemies from films that came out long after the game's release. Things take on a decidedly darker turn as a shapeshifting beast known only as "Red" appears, displaying awareness of the player's existence; from there, environments become ever more sinister, cheesy monsters transform into indescribable abominations, and twisted worlds spawn, seemingly independent of the player or even the game itself. The game reveals knowledge about the player that it couldn't possibly have as the mind games of the insidious entity leading it all grow more and more aggressive.
 
Cosbydaf has begun to release information about a sequel. What we know so far: it will involve the game cartridge falling into the hands of another gamer who plays through an entirely different adventure alongside Godzilla (of course) and Rodan, facing a group of giant monsters based off of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20140113195118/http://godzillareplay.blog.com/ You can find the sequel here].
 
All in all, ''NES Godzilla Creepypasta'' is a very subtle, enthralling piece of work, highly recommended to anyone who's never found sleep to be all it's cracked up to be.

=== The series contains examples of: ===
* [[Abandoned Laboratory]]: Brimming with cybernetic monstrosities, naturally.
* [[And I Must Scream]]: {{spoiler|The player ends up like this in the final battle, where he cannot move his body to do anything but play the game. Fortunately, it's temporary.}}
Line 15:
* [[Ascended Demon]]: {{spoiler|Solomon. Note his [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|red eyes turn blue after his resurrection.]]}}
* [[Back for the Finale]]: After two worlds in which he doesn't appear, {{spoiler|Anguirus}} comes back for the final world.
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: All of the killed monsters and Face are revived after Red's defeat.}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|Red ''really'' hates Solomon.}}
* [[Big Bad]]: Red, of course.
* [[Big Good]]: The blue angel, or {{spoiler|Melissa.}}
* [[Biological Mashup]]: The boss of the "KILL" stage.
Line 46:
** Not quite the only way (his brow occasionally furrows in anger and he opens his mouth to menace the player at one point), but the most obvious.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Solomon pulls one}} before the game begins.
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: Invoked. Much of the soundtrack, but special mention goes to [http://www.mediafire.com/?26130d5zbx9yy65 Unforgiving Cold].
** The glacier levels' theme song compared to another subtle, eerie winter theme from [[Donkey Kong Country]]. Red delights in contorting the soundtrack in unrecognizable ways.
* [[Kaiju]]: Obviously. It's as much a love letter to obscure and fan-favorite kaiju as it is a creepypasta.
** [[Word of God]] has stated that Red was partially inspired by the idea of {{spoiler|[[EarthboundEarthBound|Giygas]] as a kaiju}} along with {{spoiler|the rumored (but false) unproduced film where Godzilla fights Satan himself.}} It explains so much.
* [[Marathon Boss]]: In Extus, {{spoiler|Not-Ghidora, or Chimera as it's called, takes Zachary a long time to kill. And that doesn't count the [[Boss Rush]] that precedes it.}}
** Let's not forget {{spoiler|Red's final form}} and his absolutely ''massive'' health bar. It's implied that, even using {{spoiler|Acacius}}, it took a while to defeat.
Line 60:
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: Red never smiles, not even triumphantly.
* [[Recurring Boss]]\{{spoiler|[[Final Boss Preview]]}}: Red, {{spoiler|if this was a normal video game at all}}. The end of each stage starting with "Pathos" is an [[Escape Sequence]] where he chases after you and his touch is a [[One-Hit Kill]]. In the final level {{spoiler|you fight him instead. Fortunately he can't [[One-Hit Kill]] you...[[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|it's against the rules.]]}}
* [[Revised Ending]]: [[Played for Laughs]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140405053655/http://nesgodzillacreepypasta.blog.com/2012/03/18/alternate-ending/ here].
* {{spoiler|[[Sequel Hook]]: The game cartridge is still out there.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: A possible one to [[Eversion]].
Line 79:
* [[Wham! Episode]]: The first Hell Beast chase.
** The second part of "Entropy", in the "white tree" stage.
** The end of "Extus".
* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: Invoked. {{spoiler|"If you’re going to cheat, then why do you even let me use the controller?!" "CAN'T BREAK THE RULES"." Apparently Justified, since Red's attempt to break the rules lets the player use the [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger|Eleventh Hour Supermonster.]]}}
* [[Womb Level]]: The "organic levels" in Zenith. The monsters and obstacles are truly sickening.
