15 Horrifying Video Game Easter Eggs You Totally Missed

4. The Game Boy Camera €“ €œWho Are You Running From?€

Before digital cameras and smartphones were a thing, the Game Boy Camera was the peak of picture-taking technology. With it, your Game Boy could be hooked up to capture incredibly small, low-resolution, grainy photographs €“ which you could then print out if you had the official Game Boy Printer. The camera also came pre-loaded with a couple of games, including a simple RPG-like command-based experience. Unfortunately, this game also doubled as a portal into the deepest depths of Hell €“ all because of one simple menu option. Selecting €œRUN€ from the presented options froze game for a brief moment €“ and one of the three Nightmare Faces of Satan would be displayed on the screen, accompanied by the question €œWHO ARE YOU RUNNING FROM?€ (hint: the foul demon possessing this once pure gaming device). Even if you exorcized your Game Boy, and didn€™t hit €œRUN€ ever again, you still weren€™t safe. Any system errors (like a faulty connection) brought up similar devil spawn faces, to the horror of millions of kids the world over.
