In 1989, the classic forest-noir platformer "Deertective 1" hit the shelves and the series became an overnight smash, but success came at a heavy price. As employees of Shikatan Studios struggled to keep up with demand, production issues started to pile up, resulting in defective cartridges. With memories of the great game crash of 1983 still haunting them, game executives hatched a bold plan.... to place an employee inside each cartridge to manage quality assurance. In this special episode of VH1's "Inside The Cartridge", we *literally* go inside Deertective 1.
