''[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.
