That was simply : Weird.

I don't remember much about it, but I do recognize the latter part of my vision. I was hanging out with my friends on one of those end-of-the-world meetings. It must have been five years-or so ago. I brought my trusty N64(A relic of the 1990's) with my four controller to the party. Once there I was greeted by familiar faces. Huddled around a small television screen, the host started to connect a game system. He didn't connect mine, which was among the most advance. Instead he connected a NES system. Cries of outrage was heard among my compatriots, and the host explains that there was a really awesome game he wanted to show. That wasn't the end of the story. Just as he was starting the machine, but the game wouldn't start. Instead, to start the game, he had to first insert another game, type in through the pad "b-a-b-a-up-up-down-down", then he switched it to the actual game. This swapping makes absolutely no sense at all.

The game itself was weird. It had this "MSG" feel, but was a first person shooter or something. In the game, you can play as various people from various movies, such as Jules (pulp fiction), or Mr. Brown(resevoir dogs), etc.  The title of the screen showed this "high quality" picture of a house. There was this text at the bottom that says "phone in to win!" Weird. Now, as the game began, I had to choose two weapons. That's my "A" and "B" button. I guess the dpad was supposed to be the... I don't know how a fps would work with a controller like that.

Anyways, the thing gets slightly more weird. This game was running using N64 controllers using this adapter.  It still only had like you functioning buttons (excluding the start/select).
The next few minutes was a blur. I don't really remember anything else other than... "Dead Nigger Storage".
