Are we still doing jump scare crimes? If so, this one is famous in my family: When my big brother and I were pretty little, we had Pokemon Snap for the N64 and our parents would play with us sometimes. Once, my brother was on controller for the beginning of the Tunnel level. The cart rolled into the entrance and he turned to take a picture of an Electrode exploding. As some of you may know, the explosion tends to shake the cave and cause a group of Kakuna hanging from the ceiling to fall down. Imagine our horror when my brother re-centered the camera to a FULL SCREEN KAKUNA SCARY FACE covering the entire TV, causing the cart to come to a loud and screeching halt on the tracks. The incident caused shrieks, tears, and the rule that our dad would always play through that first section of the Tunnel while we kids hid behind the couch until we were past that part of the level. I still think about it every time I replay Pokemon Snap and make sure to be cautious of the Kakunas! xD
