    Haunted.

    And no, it's not possible for a game to be haunted. Don't be silly.

    Huh? Sorry can't understand your post. I'm presuming hunted should be haunted, cartage is obviously cartridge. So basically you are asking can a disc or cartridge be haunted? If so, the answer is no.

    So first of all you have to believe in ghosts, then you have to believe a ghost is capable of injecting itself into complied game code and has the presence to affect the game.

    :eek:

    If this is to be believed then all Bethesda games are haunted until they release an exorcising patch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,083 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    Yes ... yes they can.

    If you want to hunt a haunted game you will need the ghostbusters.

    Hmmm, interesting. There are a bunch of tall tales about Hollywood movies being "cursed" and the likes. I wonder if there are similar stories regarding video games...

    All of the stories about this kind of stuff unfortunately fall into the realm of "creepypasta" produced by people who - again unfortunately - cannot write. It's a shame because it could generate some interesting ideas.

    The only 2 cases of "haunted" games that I know of are the Majora's mask thing, which was debunked anyways, and also the herobrine thing on minecraft which was just a creepypasta.

    Yeah, it was on the link you originally posted.

    I have to say, I am entertained by the idea of cartridges/discs/whatever being haunted, but after a bit of a mooch round online, there seems to be feck all incedents of this nature. Even less that are believable. It's almost a pity, because it's an interesting concept.
