Ok, so if I heard this story from someone else I’d think that they were crazy, lying, full of BS, or some combination of all three but it happened to me and it’s all true (I know a big red flag but feel free to continue). This happened over twenty years ago ‘94 or ‘95, I was set up for a day of blockbuster bingefest, I had rented several movies and the sega genesis game Master of Monsters (I had two TVs set up, one to watch and one to play on, sad but true… and FUN!). As I progressed through the game I came upon a new level, one I had I never seen before(I had rented the game couple of times) yet the second I saw it I had a very clear memory of playing that stage. I remembered that I had played that stage and that when I flew my mono-p to a particular spot it caused the game to glitch, freezing the AI’s heroes making for an easy win instead of an impossible one. So I’m sitting there staring at the game thinking to myself, “How the hell am I remembering a stage that I’ve never played before?”. And I want to make it clear that it was a memory,crystal clear and stronger than anything I’ve had before or since. It wasn’t that I had some instinctual knowledge of the glitch, the program playing on the TV was different, the lighting of the room was different, other small subtle differences, where things were on the table, floor, etc. So I thought what the heck, I’ll try it and sure enough once I got the mono-p, the game glitched. I thought it was weird as all hell but I kinda laughed it off as just one of those things that happened and was happy enough for the easy win. So time goes by, I really don’t know if it was a few weeks or months later but I was at blockbuster and saw that they were selling their copy of Master of Monsters so I picked it up along with a few movies for another bingefest. So I’m playing the game, I come to the glitch stage, and I realize that this is it. This is moment I was remembering, the lighting, the TV program, everything. It was a bizarre, intense feeling, everything felt...more. Hard to describe and I thought “I finally caught up with myself.”
All written down it doesn’t seem like enough to hang your hat on, still it’s true. Now I could go on a rant about the possible hows, whys, and what ifs but that would all be conjecture and I simply don’t want to do that. I simply wanted to tell my tale and put it out there because...see a couple weeks ago I wanted to go on the internet and take a look around at time travel but it was late, I was tired and chose to sleep instead. When I awoke I knew I had made a mistake. I missed something, an opportunity, and now a series of events are not going to happen. So I’ll throw this out there, hope that if I make enough left turns I’ll end back up on the right track. (pun intended)
