''[[http://nesgodzillacreepypasta.blog.com/category/chap1/ NES Godzilla Creepypasta]]'' is the artistic spawn of [[http://www.bogleech.com/ Bogleech]] Member Cosbydaf. It relies on a combination of first person narrative and edited videogame screencaps to tell its story.
One day, our protagonist is given a bunch of NES games by an old friend of his. Being an enormous Godzilla fan, he starts with a nostalgic favorite, ''Godzilla Monster of Monsters''. Shortly after beginning, he finds that the game is glitched, presumably from a hack. At first he's delighted to find that the game includes monsters that weren't in the original. He becomes suspicious when he faces extremely recent Godzilla enemies from films that came out long after the game's release. Things take on a decidedly darker turn as a shapeshifting beast known only as "Red" appears, displaying awareness of the player's existence; from there, environments become ever more sinister, cheesy monsters transform into indescribable abominations, and twisted worlds spawn, seemingly independent of the player or even the game itself. The game reveals knowledge about the player that it couldn't possibly have as the mind games of the insidious entity leading it all grow more and more aggressive.

What we know so far: it will involve the game cartridge falling into the hands of another gamer who plays through an entirely different adventure alongside Godzilla (of course) and Rodan, facing a group of giant monsters based off of the SevenDeadlySins.
All in all, ''NES Godzilla Creepypasta'' is a very subtle, enthralling piece of work, highly recommended to anyone who's never found sleep to be all it's cracked up to be.

!!The series contains examples of:
* AbandonedLaboratory: Brimming with cybernetic monstrosities, naturally.
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:The player ends up like this in the final battle, where he cannot move his body to do anything but play the game. Fortunately, it's temporary.]]
** [[spoiler: Also, Red tortures Melissa in the afterlife, and Zach risks this fate if he loses.]]
* ArtShift: In a non-comedic example, the graphics start out as fairly plausible for NES graphics, but from the Titanosaurus battle onwards begin to subtly shift into more advanced fare, culminating in Zenith's {{Womb Level}}s which look almost photorealistic.
* AscendedDemon: [[spoiler:Solomon. Note his [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience red eyes turn blue after his resurrection.]]]]
* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: All of the killed monsters and Face are revived after Red's defeat.]]
* BerserkButton: [[spoiler: Red ''really'' hates Solomon.]]
* BigBad: Red, of course.
* BigGood: The blue angel, or [[spoiler:Melissa.]]
* BiologicalMashup: The boss of the "KILL" stage.
* BodyHorror: Plenty, but in particular the mutated creatures on Entropy and pretty much everything on Zenith.
* BossRush: The end of "Extus" contains a battle with all of the "replacement" monsters one after another.
** [[spoiler: FusionDance: It ends with their combined form, the Chimera.]]
* BonusStage: The Heart Temple is full of harmless enemies that the narrator uses to refill his health.
* BreatherLevel: The snowy forest in Entropy, in stark contrast to the vast majority of the other levels, is downright relaxing. [[spoiler:Subverted when the narrator runs into a massive field of frostbitten animal corpses and psychotic raptors.]]
* BreathWeapon: [[spoiler:Red can apparently breathe fire, as demonstrated in the final battle.]]
** [[spoiler: Fire with a NightmareFace.]]
* DemonicSpiders: In an in-universe example, the narrator runs across a fair amount of these once [[spoiler:Red takes over.]]
* [[spoiler: DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu]]
* DualBoss: The pyramid monsters.
* [[spoiler: EarnYourHappyEnding: On the other hand...]]
** [[spoiler: BittersweetEnding: The whole thing seems to have left the narrator depressed, though it's implied he'll be able to overcome it. And the game cartridge is still out there...]]
* EldritchAbomination: [[BigBad Hellbeast/Red]]. Moon Beast and the various replacements for the Toho monsters also qualify.
** Face is a much more subtle version. It doesn't seem to [[BlueAndOrangeMorality understand human morality]], and judging from its questions ("Is water wet?") it comes from / perceives / is a location where conventional physics are unreliable at best. While not as evil as Red, it is also [[JerkAss kind of a dick.]]
* EldritchLocation: The levels gradually begin taking on aspects of this, ceasing to become a series of obstacles and transforming into entire worlds where entities live out their lives independently.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: In a way, Acacius.]]
* EscapeSequence: "RUN". And you'd better!
* EvilIsVisceral: Red certainly thinks so.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: [[BigBad Red]] and Face, who... are.
* FanService: Not in the "cute girls in short skirts" variety, the "nerdy indulgence" variety. Appropriate enough for something from Bogleech, it's got kaiju, old video games with strange, abstract enemies and AccidentalNightmareFuel, and of course good ol' fashioned HighOctaneNightmareFuel on top of it.
* GaiasLament: The aptly-named Entropy shows a beautiful world decay and mutate under the strain of industrialization. The harmless giraffe-herons become gruesome mummy-birds when exposed to toxic waste, the raptors turn homicidally insane, and [[spoiler:the moon itself gives birth to a fetal humanoid that transforms into a titanic abomination.]]
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: This is the only way Red can emote.
** Not quite the only way (his brow occasionally furrows in anger and he opens his mouth to menace the player at one point), but the most obvious.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Solomon pulls one]] before the game begins.
* HellIsThatNoise: Invoked. Much of the soundtrack, but special mention goes to [[http://www.mediafire.com/?26130d5zbx9yy65 Unforgiving Cold]].
** The glacier levels' theme song compared to another subtle, eerie winter theme from DonkeyKongCountry. Red delights in contorting the soundtrack in unrecognizable ways.
* {{Kaiju}}: Obviously. It's as much a love letter to obscure and fan-favorite kaiju as it is a creepypasta.
** WordOfGod has stated that Red was partially inspired by the idea of [[spoiler: [[{{Earthbound}} Giygas]] as a kaiju.]] It explains so much.
* MarathonBoss: In Extus, [[spoiler: Not-Ghidora, or Chimera as it's called, takes Zachary a long time to kill. And that doesn't count the BossRush that precedes it.]]
** Let's not forget [[spoiler: Red's final form]] and his absolutely ''massive'' health bar. It's implied that, even using [[spoiler: Acacius]], it took a while to defeat.
* NothingIsScarier: Implemented to pants-wetting effect. Most prominent in the "Unforgiving Cold" level, which is a completely uneventful seven-minute trek down a blue stone hallway with a static effect on the screen, stone [[NightmareFace Nightmare Faces]] lining the ceiling, and eerie music in the background.
* NightmareFace: The Hell Beast has one, utilized to great effect when [[spoiler:it pops out from a screen-full of "KILL" to shock the player - and audience. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Face]] is killed and becomes a bleeding skull in the final world, Zenith.]]
* OhCrap: Every time the narrator discovers a new way that [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou the fourth wall fails to protect him.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Some of the new Godzilla monster bosses keep their alternate forms: Biollante, Battra, and [[spoiler:Destoroyah]]. Mecha-Godzilla starts off looking like normal Godzilla before the RoboticReveal [[spoiler: and then later changes into a "replacement" monster]]. In the last stage, [[spoiler: King Ghidorah apparently uses the replacement monster glitch to become Mecha King Ghidorah]]. And of course, there's [[spoiler: Red]].
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: The "angel" that's featured in the center of the site's banner [[spoiler:blocks the Hell Beast (and promptly gets killed, crying TearsOfBlood as it happens) to give Godzilla time to escape. It is eventually revealed to be the spirit of Melissa, an old flame of the narrator, and later returns to save him from Red's wrath.]]
** [[spoiler:A skull-faced red angel with a similar design appears in the red temple stage on Zenith - but is nowhere near as friendly.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: Red never smiles, not even triumphantly.
* RecurringBoss[=\=][[spoiler:FinalBossPreview]]: Red, [[spoiler:if this was a normal video game at all]]. The end of each stage starting with "Pathos" is an EscapeSequence where he chases after you and his touch is a OneHitKill. In the final level [[spoiler: you fight him instead. Fortunately he can't OneHitKill you...[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou it's against the rules.]]]]
* [[spoiler: SequelHook: The game cartridge is still out there.]]
* ShoutOut: A possible one to {{Eversion}}.
* [[spoiler: {{Synchronization}}: In the final battle.]]
* ThatsNoMoon: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Moon Beast.]]
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: As the unfortunate player finds out at the final stage of World 3, Trance.
** Near the end we learn that [[spoiler: Red has been watching the player well before he started playing.]]
* TheLostWoods: The Entropy forest, which takes on the music of Unforgiving Cold the second time around.
* TheMostDangerousVideoGame: [[spoiler: Vaguely implied to be a conduit to other worlds, and possibly the afterlife. And it's still out there.]]
* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: "Zenith". [[spoiler: The setting is basically Hell, the quiz game and television screens are broken, and the final two bosses before Red are King Ghidora and Destoroyah, two of the most infamous villains of the ''{{Godzilla}}'' franchise.]]
* VideogameCaringPotential: In Entropy, Zachary feels it would be wrong to attack the deer-like creatures he finds there, and leaves them be. At times, he even chases away some raptor-like animals that appear to be their natural predator. [[spoiler:For good reason, in that these creatures might actually be alive.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler: Red has a running form, a swimming form, and a flying form, which it uses to chase Godzilla, Anguirus, and Mothra, respectively. And, revealed in chapter 8, a [[OneWingedAngel giant form]].]]
* WhamEpisode: The first Hell Beast chase.
** The second part of "Entropy", in the "white tree" stage.
** The end of "Extus".
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Invoked. [[spoiler: "If you’re going to cheat, then why do you even let me use the controller?!" "CAN'T BREAK THE RULES"." Apparently Justified, since Red's attempt to break the rules lets the player use the [[EleventhHourSuperpower Eleventh Hour Supermonster.]]]]
* WombLevel: The "organic levels" in Zenith. The monsters and obstacles are truly sickening.

In the last stage, [[spoiler: King Ghidorah apparently uses the replacement monster glitch to become Mecha King Ghidorah]]. And of course, there's [[spoiler: Red]].
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: The "angel" that's featured in the center of the site's banner [[spoiler:blocks the Hell Beast (and promptly gets killed, crying TearsOfBlood as it happens) to give Godzilla time to escape. It is eventually revealed to be the spirit of Melissa, an old flame of the narrator, and later returns to save him from Red's wrath.]]
** [[spoiler:A skull-faced red angel with a similar design appears in the red temple stage on Zenith - but is nowhere near as friendly.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: Red never smiles, not even triumphantly.
* RecurringBoss[=\=][[spoiler:FinalBossPreview]]: Red, [[spoiler:if this was a normal video game at all]]. The end of each stage starting with "Pathos" is an EscapeSequence where he chases after you and his touch is a OneHitKill. In the final level [[spoiler: you fight him instead. Fortunately he can't OneHitKill you...[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou it's against the rules.]]]]
* [[spoiler: SequelHook: The game cartridge is still out there.]]
* ShoutOut: A possible one to {{Eversion}}.
* [[spoiler: {{Synchronization}}: In the final battle.]]
* ThatsNoMoon: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Moon Beast.]]
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: As the unfortunate player finds out at the final stage of World 3, Trance.
** Near the end we learn that [[spoiler: Red has been watching the player well before he started playing.]]
* TheLostWoods: The Entropy forest, which takes on the music of Unforgiving Cold the second time around.
* TheMostDangerousVideoGame: [[spoiler: Vaguely implied to be a conduit to other worlds, and possibly the afterlife. And it's still out there.]]
* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: "Zenith". [[spoiler: The setting is basically Hell, the quiz game and television screens are broken, and the final two bosses before Red are King Ghidora and Destoroyah, two of the most infamous villains of the ''{{Godzilla}}'' franchise.]]
* VideogameCaringPotential: In Entropy, Zachary feels it would be wrong to attack the deer-like creatures he finds there, and leaves them be. At times, he even chases away some raptor-like animals that appear to be their natural predator. [[spoiler:For good reason, in that these creatures might actually be alive.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler: Red has a running form, a swimming form, and a flying form, which it uses to chase Godzilla, Anguirus, and Mothra, respectively. And, revealed in chapter 8, a [[OneWingedAngel giant form]].]]
* WhamEpisode: The first Hell Beast chase.
** The second part of "Entropy", in the "white tree" stage.
** The end of "Extus".
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Invoked. [[spoiler: "If you’re going to cheat, then why do you even let me use the controller?!" "CAN'T BREAK THE RULES"." Apparently Justified, since Red's attempt to break the rules lets the player use the [[EleventhHourSuperpower Eleventh Hour Supermonster.]]]]
* WombLevel: The "organic levels" in Zenith. The monsters and obstacles are truly sickening.
