Deluge

every video game has its process behind think of any game that you want well then that you enjoy so much once were only data and code that still had no life is certain that every game has had things discarded some known by the vast majority of the public and some others that may never be known because the same creators decided it was better that no one knew of such a thing I have a group of friends we were all fascinated by the fact of finding betas versions of video games the feeling of seeing what the programmers had in mind to finally eliminate it was for us something magical we had a dedicated blog where we uploaded our discoveries of different video games published the videos where we played such preliminary versions but of course for us it was something magical. to see what the programmers had in mind to finally remove it was for us something magical we had a dedicated blog where we uploaded our discoveries of different video games published the videos where we played such preliminary versions but of course to do that required time and effort we sent messages to employees of different companies to see if they answered us 90% of the cases we received no response the other 10% only allowed us to ask them a couple of questions about the development but nothing else we were left with. we were a small group it was difficult to find betas but if we could find one and be the pioneers in finding it it was enough to make history one day when we were gathered in a square to discuss what we could do a member of our group arrived with a copy of a video game that he had never heard of we asked him where he had gotten it from he told us that he had been a friend of an employee of a video game store for a long time, since he worked there it was normal for him to receive many copies before they went on sale, you know, to take pictures and advertise them, he had been informed by our colleague that very soon they were going to do a big cleaning of the entire warehouse, all the old games that did not seem to be sold or consoles that were no longer on the market because they were obsolete would be thrown away, since he was aware of our hobby of I told him that if he wanted I would do my best to get as many games from the warehouse as I could and I would pass them to him between several days so he could do his search and try his luck to see if some of them were a version that was not released to the public when he finished his explanation as expected we all spoke with excitement and exaltation we told him that it was convenient to pass him the games on a Saturday so we would have free time to go with him and help him. he answered that he had already told us that next Sunday the store would have already taken all the games out of the warehouse so a day before we would all go to help once we had organized all the necessary time among the group everyone went home I almost could not sleep for the excitement if we were lucky we would find many interesting things although it also gave me a little weird feeling because it was not possible for us to receive all the games that were going to be withdrawn and if most of them were early versions it would mean that many of them were not available for us. We spent the necessary days until the following Saturday during that time we dedicated ourselves to agree to try again the games we received to start comparing with the final version the shipment was very heavy we were six but still there were too many games we said goodbye to the employee thanking him deeply for having given us all this loot that he himself called unnecessary things for the store we sat down in the same park where we were going to try again the games we received to start comparing with the final version the shipment was very heavy we were six but still there were too many games we said goodbye to the employee thanking him deeply for having given us all this loot that he himself called unnecessary things for the store we We sat in the same park where we met and began to look through the bags were many games of different sagas for various consoles in total were 72 after several minutes talking we came to the conclusion that each one would take 12 boxes I played games very different from each other but luckily I had the consoles to which the games belonged I returned to my house with the bag in hand just in time for lunch I left the bag in my room and went to eat quietly at the end of the day.

brushing my teeth i received messages in the group that we have together friends some had already started to test the games they mentioned to us that it is sure that in most of them if they allow it they bring a saved game they recommended us to delete it since it was surely something left by the former employees that tested the game before i sat on my bed to look carefully at the games some came with box others that were cartridges or cds without anything in total the games ended up being 3 xbox 3 super nintendo games 4 playstation 1 and 2 game boy advance games i went for the game boy ones first since i had modified my abans to be able to connect it to the computer and transmit the screen of the console to my monitor i didn't know which one to choose 4 from playstation 1 and 2 from game boy advance i went for the game boy ones first as i had modified my abans to be able to connect it to the computer and transmit the console screen to my monitor i didn't know which one to choose both were with their original box they were a super mario advance 4 and a pokemon sapphire something that was decisive to which one to try first was that the pokemon contained its manual and the mario i have never been that attached to pokemon but if i kept up with the games i remember well playing emerald in and i knew that both sapphire and ruby were alternate versions of emeralds so i got a little spark in my eyes i laid down comfortably on my bed to read the manual even though it was in english i could understand a little nothing out of the ordinary but something did make me open my eyes a little out of confusion there was a section dedicated to talk about a new technology focused on the day and night system the note that mentioned it said try the new day and night system brought directly from gold and silver and an image that came with it was the game at night with the lights of the buildings on how strange that I remember no game of the third generation had an advanced system of schedule as to put everything at night reading that made me a little excited until I thought maybe we have found an early version left where they still had planned the day and night something curious I found was that at the end on several pages had some texts in Japanese that were repeated for about 20 more pages of the manual I did not want to get my hopes up but I could believe that I received even a manual that was not yet finished this could be worth a lot I could have in my hands a wealth I carefully kept the manual in its box and took out the sapphire cartridge to my relief it was in good condition the sticker was a little clear but nothing that could not be solved with a little pressure with my fingers I introduced the cartridge to my advance and also connected the console to the computer to play more comfortably apart that I had prepared a program to take screenshots and record my findings I had a slight suspicion that perhaps only the manual had interesting things and the cartridge was just a normal copy but bingo the same title screen closed my mouth with only the year that showed 2002 sapphire had come out in 2003 press start as my friends in the group had said there was a saved game the name was alex had several hours of play is true that I had mentioned that I delete the game as it was better to experiment everything on my own from the beginning but curiosity won me select the game to see what that so lex did the game greeted me with a completely white flash almost stunned me by the brightness I thought the game had frozen and it was impossible to continue but after a little while the screen showed everything fine and through the small speakers a thunder was heard it seems that the white flash belonged to a storm I recognized the place instantly I was at the beginning of the game in villa I was curious because the thunder was not the only thing that greeted me it was raining but raining in a very violent way there was a lot of thunder and you could hardly hear the sound effect when something blocks your way the first thing I did was to walk around the town there were small puddles of water when a drop of rain fell on them they made their dispersion effect I opened the menu and checked what equipment I had it consisted of a basic in a big scar moore and curuguaty line an all.

between level 40 and 50 yes I was advanced I was even ready to go to challenge the high command after seeing the team I decided to move to the first town that is to the north while I was moving it was still raining hard the first route did not have any person was not even the one who gave you the first position to reach the village I saw that the pokemon center was falling a lot of water to the ceiling even outside the sign was formed a small pool of water the first thing I did was enter and the scene there left me quite surprised there was a line to heal the pokemon and also many more people that you would normally find inside a center a detail I also noticed was that from time to time it seemed that small drops of water would fall from time to time it seemed that the pokemon had a lot of water. I was quite surprised there was a line to cure the pokemon and also there were many more people than you would normally find inside a center a detail I also noticed was that from time to time small drops of water fell it seems that some cracks had formed in the ceiling that allowed the water to enter as there were many people I tried to talk to each one but none of them answered me only one told me something the machines are not working well the water has fallen on them when I finished reading that the line had dispersed and some people came out of the center. I thought maybe this is because I was playing the sapphire edition so rail hunting has no relevance here and everything was focused on breakage I talked to the nurse and she told me another weird thing we only allow the use of the machine three times think well before healing your pokemon three times because the water seriously affected the building as to only be able to heal your team a few times I chose not all my team was completely healthy I went to see the map to see where the previous owner had stayed but this was not the map I remember when I was young I can not describe very well the changes as I am not photographic memory only know that this is not the normal map was plunging much more in the intrigue this cartridge to leave the building I went for a walk around the nearby roads at every step I took the rain was intensifying in some areas and in some areas and in the rest of the building I went to see the map to see where the previous owner had stayed. I came to a route where there was a fence ready to be removed I wanted to see if the rain had affected them and indeed it did when I wanted to remove the fence appeared a text box the plants have drowned I could not get anything out of there I moved a box to the side to try to plant a fence another message the ground is too wet it is impossible to plant something seems that the fences with this weather have become unusable I took the shortcut that is north of the village when I got there there was a noticeable change the whole color palette had become darker and a huge puddle of water had formed at the east exit I went into the store to buy some things as I saw that I had money to spare when I entered it was the same as with the center a row of small puddles of water formed by drops from the ceiling and no person spoke to me and looked quietly until it was my turn I was surprised by the price of the healing objects I think their price had quintupled all my money. quintupled all the money I thought I had to spare was going to go with just wanting to buy five restore everything when leaving the store I had remembered if I had pokemon over level 40 I should already have the hidden machine flight and go to where was the last city to be visited in the story I had it the last was city lime water I selected it on the map but when the character did the animation where he takes out the little ball appeared a box with the text the weather is too strong to use flight what a bummer I would have to go on foot I took the route that was already almost flooded it was fast since there was no trainer willing to challenge me as I was approaching cal agua the palette was becoming more dark blue and there were many more pools of water I did not lose anything if I explored a little I tried to climb the mount perico but something was happening on the side of the top you could see a waterfall of water along with small cracks that could be seen between all the land where water came out it was impossible to continue climbing since a huge layer of water

I was covering the last stairs before I got there I came across a zig zag un it was level 4 so it wouldn't be that much of a problem but before I took out my pokemon a text came up saying rain is too heavy accompanied by a storm animation all over the field as I took out blaze and whoever told him to use peck but before I did that the ps of zig zag boom decreased all the way down showing a message zig zag un was weakened due to drowning weakened by drowning how weird I started trying to draw conclusions it was raining hard maybe the game was left just at the moment where team acqua releases quiebre it seemed a bit strong to me that they put something like drowning just like it happened to zig zag every pokemon that was not aquatic was weakened in the same way i arrived to cal agua city the water that came out of the small cracks in the mountains was a lot and what was formed on the ground could already be considered lagoons and not puddles when i wanted to go to the edges of the city to enter the lair of team agua a huge edge of water greeted me. The tide was rising very fast and had already swallowed much of the edge of the city it seemed that only a few hours left for the water to sink the entire city one thing I noticed was that on the sides of the tides there were people moving from one side to another desperately to get out of the water I could not do anything when I wanted to interact with them they did not respond I tried my luck going into the houses and talking to people only one answered me saying that he was terrified of what could happen could it happen? I wanted to continue with what was being done in emerald I took the route in the direction to receive cops but I remembered that I needed to dive for it I had to go to the city to the area to get the movement but I still didn't have any pokemon that could learn it it wasn't difficult to find a solution with so much water it was sure that I would get one that could learn it I managed to capture a tentacle that would help me later I arrived to algar and as I expected it was also being swallowed up by the pokemon that I had to learn it I was able to capture a tentacle that would be useful to me. as I expected the sea was also swallowing it I went to the house of maximum he didn't receive me only the machine was hidden on the table when I grabbed it I showed it once to the tentacle and I left to receive liz when I arrived and went to land I could see how the water had already completely sunk the gym I entered the ancestral cave to see what could happen I went down to the deepest and what I found there had already left me attentive to whatever could happen later it was Achilles but he was in the center of the cave with his head under the water when I wanted to get closer to the water I could see how the water had completely sunk the gym I went into the ancestral cave to see what could happen. I talked to him to see what was going on and he said a text that said how you were so much now everything is lost after that he didn't answer me there was nothing more I could do there on my way to the exit I met blasco I had completely forgotten about him and other important characters for the story when he was in front of me he said please help me save the world I beg you to save the world when I closed the picture he just left I didn't know he was gone I just didn't know what was going on. I did not know where I should go by common sense I deduced that I had to go to where he wanted to be awakened since they were not at receipt liz as I did not remember where he was I spent a long time searching through the waters and the depths I managed to find the subway cave and once inside I can assure you that it seemed as if the whole cave was about to collapse by the water pressure on the outside as there was no strong but constant trembling there was no puzzle with the stones where you have to use force on the rocks and the stones where you have to use force to find the cave. the stones where you have to use force instead there were only pure trainers lying on the floor some with a small animation that looked like they had spasms along with this there were also poke balls on the floor that did not respond if I tried to interact I went deeper into the cave when I reached the last room blasco was in front of break waiting for me before whatever could happen I organized all my team and I placed myself in the center that woke up throwing a roar and began the fight sequence was

a double combat blasco and I against break at first I thought it was a very big advantage for us to be two against one but when I saw the level of break it was sure it was going to be very hard to beat him he was level 90 despite having almost a full team and blasco had his team at a similar level to mine the only thing we did was to extend what was going to happen when all our pokémon were weakened I did not faint or anything instead blasco and I were placed in place team and the battle options appeared if I tried to select run away or see pokemon I only got a message that I was not available I had no other option I chose the move tackle but neither of us could attack as he wants to use surf first I fell down I had no other option I chose the move tackle move but neither of us could attack as he wants to use surf first we both fell down. I tried to select run away or see the pokemon only got a message that it was not available I had no other option I chose the tackle move but neither of us could attack since he wants to use surf first we both fell weakened after that appeared a message that there is nothing to do and the music stopped everything was silent for a while the screen began to shake and we saw how rocks began to fall all over the screen covering even the fight interface many fell to the point that the screen was black and so it remained completely dark for a while and so it remained completely dark for a while. I looked behind the console to try to see what was happening when I had my hand ready to place the cartridge a blue screen appeared I stayed a few moments looking at the screen there was nothing but something appeared at the top of the screen raindrops when I saw that I knew it was not just a frozen screen I pressed the crosshead in all directions to see if there was an effect and fortunately there was I succeeded I saw what seemed to be a bush coming out of the water I pressed the go button and I realized that it served to look further away from the area where I was when I zoomed out the camera I realized immediately that it was still root but completely flooded the roofs of the houses were barely coming out of the water doors and signs floating the bushes before were not bushes but the highest point of the trees after seeing how the rain continued to fall on what was once the beginning of an adventure I just decided to turn off the console as I could not do anything about it. I sat on my bed thinking for a long time this was something that is in the official sapphire game seriously nintendo had planned to be able to release a bad ending in one generation I was a long time meditating with what happened but to answer my questions I downloaded a sapphire rom and completed it in no time since there were no tricks to advance faster nothing there was no trace of what I had seen after that I immediately sent messages to my group of buddies to mention to them all that I had seen. I sent the screenshots that I took with my computer only one of them answered me and told me that if it was true it could be something very big for the world of prototypes and that he was leaving his house to come to mine and check it with his own eyes when he arrived I disconnected my game boy from the pc and gave it to him while I was showing him more screenshots that I had saved when he wanted to turn on the console the same blue screen appeared. I knew what it was about so I told him to just use the crosshead to move around the map he pressed all the buttons nothing maybe just the cartridge was out of place when he disconnected it so my friend took it out and out of curiosity he looked at the plate inside his face changed to one of confusion he said hey did you clean the cartridge before putting it in the console I answered no as soon as I got home I tested it he answered me this plate has signs of corrosion I asked him to explain it to me in more detail corrosion is an effect of deterioration that is caused by the corrosion of the cartridge. corrosion is a deterioration effect that happens to the electronic things when they are left a long time without maintenance and that its effect is accelerated by the water the same plate of the cartridge had several parts with a lot of corrosion that would make impossible that the console could read it I exclaimed to him that there was no way that that happened since until a few hours ago I had finished using it and it worked correctly he told me that although he had his doubts if he believed in everything I told him he asked me if I had any other test beyond the ones that I had told him about the cartridge I asked him if he had any other test beyond the ones that I had told him about it.

luckily the manual was still in the box I showed him the interesting part that mentioned the day and night next to the letters in Japanese when he finished reading it he made a doubtful gesture where did this come from he commented I asked myself the same question when I finished reading he told me that I better publish this as a draft somewhere else and not on the blog since there is no strong proof until we see a way to fix the corrosion and show videos of the game. and not in the blog since there is no strong proof until we see a way to fix the corrosion and show videos of the game he commented that he will try to talk to acquaintances to see how to fix an old cartridge already consumed by time after that he went home I sat in my computer chair just looking at the game on the table as I could play the game as I was able to play it. the game on the table how could I play it quietly seriously there will be some solution and I will have the opportunity to show videos to the world I don't know while I was thinking about that it was already past nine o'clock at night my parents had returned from a meeting going to prepare dinner when they talked me to go to the table I grabbed the cartridge I put it in a small plastic box trying not to damage it beyond what it could already be and left it on a shelf until now I am convinced that this was something very crazy for a game like pokemon but anyway at least for now only I was witness of how a world inside a small bits was condemned to eternal drowning.
