Mother 3, Porky's Revenge

I was always a huge fan of Earthbound series. I discovered it in the Super Smash Bros. series because the main protaginist of Mother 2 (Ness) was a playable character. I had recently dowloaded the visual boy advance emulator and started trying to find Roms for it. 2 of the first roms i came across was Mother 1+2 and Mother 3 with there translation patches respecevly. I patched the files and soon ran Mother 3, I played the game before and loved it and was exited to experence it again.

I named the characters there default names and set my favorite food and things and was put into the prologe of the game. I soon was put into control of Flint (the father of Lucas) and had to go help lighter and Fuel in the forest. Before I did that i stoped at the shrine and entered in my name, Steven. The game played normally from there on up and was having a lot of fun with the game.

About a week later of me playing continuasly i made it to chapter 8 where I had to go the the Empire Porkey Building and get to the 100th floor. Getting there was no simple task but after that i faced the the final boss and the credits rolled. I teared up at the ending and looked at the time. I realized that it was late and had to go to bed.

The next day after school I pulled up the Mother 1+2 Rom and started Mother 2. The game started up normaly until Pokey (it is the same person as Mother 3 just with a different name) came to Ness's door, only this time he diden't saw what he normally said he said "why did you kill me, I don't mean you Ness, I mean the one pulling the strings, I mean you Steven." I was shocked when I saw that because i never had put in my name in on that game yet.

Pokey then said "I know everything that you did, myself came back and told me everything you make your little puppet do and now i can change the future to the way I want."

I was freaked out by all of this and closed visual boy advance anhd deleted the Mother 1+2 Rom. I diden't do anything with the Mother 3 rom for a few days but i never deleted it either. About 1 week later I was looking throught my roms and once again found Mother 3 and I opened it up and loaded my save file. It was not at where I saved it but Lucas was back at his house. I went outside and soon noticed that the other 3 party members where no where to be found, Lucas was all alone. I went up where the rest of Tazmilly Village was but all i saw was some rubble and soot. I walked around and diden't see anyone. I went up to the cross roads where the train station was and it seemed lifeless until I saw some pigmasks standing there. They diden't notice me at first but then they attacked but were soon stopped by a blurry figure.

I recognized it to bee Porky but his machiene was different. He laughed and said " I know you would come back Steven I just knew you would, all i wanted was to rule this little virtual world but you ruined that for your own personal entertanment, you ruined me. I just wanted some fun, me still being a kid at heart and all.

I was shocked at how he understood that he was not real and was just an virtual toy. I looked back at my computer screen and he said one last thing, "I will delete the file from this computer in 3...2....1....", then visual boy advance crashed. I looked everywhere on my computer but the file for Mother 3 was nowhere to be found. When i was in bed last night I started to wonder. To this day I still don't completly understand what happened those 2 days but all I know is that I am NEVER going to play that game again.
