Strange find inside Nintendo games from flea market. NOT AN APRIL FOOLS PRANK

[Ichinisan]

Only if it crosses state lines

At least one of these came from Europe.

A paramedic on NintendoAge forums says he's 100% sure it's heroin.

So there are heroines in the games?

@Ichinisan @CZroe remember us little guys when you're famous, doing interviews with ign, eating gold-flaked cheetos and drinking mt dew code red in crystal

I was hoping for some quotes ripped from anandtech in the article.

How do you know that? The stuff may have been stuffed in the cartridge locally.

A European NES game has no business here since it won't work on most NES systems. If the board wasn't broken to fit the packets, it would probably work on a clone NES or the rare top-loader (which has no CIC lockout chip).

Still, whoever put the probably-drug-filled packets inside snapped off a protrusion from the board to fit the packets. Here's the part that tells you the packets were probably inserted while in Europe: They put the board from a different European game (Isolated Warrior) into the cartridge shell for Rollergames.

man, this blows. You guys could have maybe earned some royalty $$$ from Vince Gilligan and AMC for picking up your story as an episode or 5 for Breaking Bad.

....but hey! Better Call Saul is still a thing, so maybe this could be written in as an early (failed?) scheme from one of the young and stupid Salamanca thugs?

You guys need to write down your experience on a gum wrapper as "story idea," register it for $10 bucks at WCA or something like that, and wait. Then you can have anyone by the balls when they try to steal your story!

seriously, you can register it any form, any format, and not even as complete ideas or even sentences.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Nah, they needed to be hit by the DEA, and the drug dealers, and a strange love triangle and made into a Lifetime movie.

@Ichinisan your video got tagged as "disturbing content" on reddit, lol

Do you have another brother? Double dog dare...lick it.

 

[brianmanahan]

dang @Ichinisan, people really giving you crap for reporting it to the cops. they're probably getting withdrawal symptoms just thinking about that haul, lol.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Some great comments on reddit.

Holy fuck these guys are straight laced.

No shit. The guy being 100% still when he was zooming as the other talked about his phone having two cameras.

I'd have to drug them to stand to be around them. Or take the drugs myself.

Yeah I just saw a link and it made me think of this thread. Then I realized it was the same find. https://nypost.com/2018/04/13/video-game-collector-finds-drugs-in-old-nintendo-cartridges/

Looks like you've managed to capture the nation's imagination.
