I just picked up Dragon Warrior for the NES this week and was doing my first casual play-through. I thought it would be fun to try the game blind, rather than following a guide, but I encountered something that I am nearly certain is highly unusual. I was farming gold and exp (currently level 10), and I was farming enemies south of Rimuldar. Upon saving up 1500 gold I stopped in town to get the broadsword and then began farming gold for armor. After finishing a fight I noticed my controller was acting a little buggy, so I gently unplugged it and plugged it back in. When I plugged my controller into the console a text-box appeared on top of the over-world. It read: "Please wait, I wish to go with the on thy journey. May I travel as thy companion?" Another text-box appeared, giving me the options Yes and No. I thought: "How cool, I didn't know you had a companion in this game, I wonder how that impacts fighting." So I hit yes. The stranger replied "I'm so happy!" walked onto the same square I was on and half of my sprite merged with her sprite. Then the credits rolled. I was completely shocked to suddenly win the game in the middle of a field... I thought you were supposed to fight the "DragonLord" or something... I'm assuming I somehow caused a credits-warp and won far earlier than I ever was meant to, and being a fan of speed runs, I wanted to post this discovery so that someone who knows this game, or just a member of the community may be able to use it. I'm going to find out if I can recreate the event on my own, and will post more findings if I am able.

Not sure if it is okay to ask this kind of question here, but any guidance would be appreciated. I have an original 3DS and it randomly produces a line down the middle of the top screen during gameplay(black line on white/light screen; noticable line on darker screen, does not have a particular color). It seems to occur only during 3DS games (mostly seen from physical cartridge games and sometimes software; my download game "Shantae and the Pirate's Curse" never showed any signs although create Mii program has plenty times. Nor has virtual console downloads shown the line. I think the AR card reader game did cause the line as well). I do not remember seeing it happen when playing DS games either, though it might had done so with Dragon Quest IX. The problem swapped with another dilemma I had, which was the hidge squeaking when opening the system (the squeak does not happen anymore). I had talked to a Nintendo Representative on if that allowed for repair, but they said not to worry about it then. My warranty long expired at this point, but the line worries me. It does interfer when it shows up. However, I am concerned about sending it to Nintendo for two reasons. First is I really do not want to have a refurbished different system (I've taken care of mine, I do not want someone else's). The other is payment options Nintendo of America appears to only accept. I do not have a credit card. Do you think they take Visa Debit or even money order/check? I have not talked recently with any Nintendo representative on the problem, so also ideas on particular wording for maybe a discounted repair would be valued as well (I have never had a repair needed so I was thinking of mentioning that....). Anyway, I am not comfortable opening up the system on my own (I do not know what I be looking for), and I am not read for the New 3DS XL (it's large for my hands). Weak excuses...I know. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

Hi all. I've been working on a project and replaying DQ8 on PCSX2. Quite randomly I stumbled upon this glitch...where the Hero walks underwater I extracted a video and posted it on Youtube to share (see below). Anyone else stumble upon it before? I wonder if it's something PCSX2-exclusive, or if it happens on a PS2 (mine is put up in storage), or if it was just my copy of the game. Hm...and how about the mobile version? I'm nowhere near far enough in the mobile game to test that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcT5HGjNrqg
