As much as I loved playing Donkey Kong 64 (and would love to play it again one of these days), King K.Rool sure freaked me out something awful.
None of us could bring ourselves to "quit" the game due to his creepy laugh, the way his enormous bloodshot eye stared straight at us while the camera kept moving, and the way the Blast-O-Matic machine took aim at DK Isle while those dreaded words "GAME OVER" flashed over everything.
As we played the Hideout Helm level, where we learned just how important those blueprints really were, our controllers became notoriously sticky with sweat.
And whenever we'd had enough of the game as a whole (or Mom and Dad made us turn it off), we just flipped the switch after saving our progress.
It may be just a game, but man, that was almost too much.
Now they're able to show us just what happens when the Blast-O-Matic actually fires. Geez...
