Video game collector Julian Turner got more than he bargained for when he purchased NES cartridges of RollerGames and Golf at a flea market in Carrollton, Georgia. After realizing that the cartridges were heavier than usual, Turner weighed them with a digital scale, confirming that they were 50% heavier than a typical NES cartridge.

Curious, Turner took the NES cartridges apart, finding two plastic baggies inside. Turner cut open one of the baggies and found a white powder substance that he believes to be heroin. Turner then called the police, who confiscated the drugs upon arrival. The police are still investigating the situation and have yet to determine exactly what kind of drugs were hidden away in these particular NES cartridges.

Here is Turner's first video, where he initially found the drugs hidden inside the RollerGames and Golf NES catridges:

After uploading the video, many YouTube commenters accused Turner of staging the incident for views. In an effort to prove that the incident was genuine, Turner uploaded a second video showing the police visit to his home and the conversation that followed. Check out that video in its entirety right here:

As previously stated, the police have yet to publicly identify the drugs that Julian Turner found hidden in the RollerGames and Golf NES cartridges. However, they have stated that they believe the drugs to be "synthetic," meaning they were created using man-made chemicals as opposed to natural substances. In the first video, Turner claims that the drugs are worth "five figures," but that has yet to be verified as well.

What makes this situation even more bizarre is that there was once an incident where someone found $5,000 stashed inside a different NES cartridge of Golf. It seems as though NES cartridges of Golf (a family-friendly game that has even been used to pay tribute to the late Satoru Iwata) were once a means of smuggling drugs and money in the 1980s, and it will be interesting to see if any more discoveries are made.
