The intarwebz defines Creepypasta as creepy stories that are often copied and pasted throughout the web. Creepypasta is the internet generation's take on the classic campfire ghost story. There's a few creepypasta tales that have received some considerable attention (and hence more copy-pasting) over the years.
Recently, I've stumbled upon a few creepypastas about video games. Video game creepypasta often involves a mysterious game cartridge that either winds up being haunted/possessed or containing a twisted version of the original game. These stories are considered old by most internet circles, but since it's Halloween and they're relatively new to me I figured, why not?

First up, we have a creepypasta about a possessed Super Mario 64 cartridge.
Without spoiling too much, the story is about a college kid who orders a Super Mario 64 cartridge via a suspicious website pop-up ad. Upon playing the game, the protagonist has Mario traversing a horrific world that's more Amityville Horror than Mushroom Kingdom. The whole thing gets a little over-the-top at the end, but it's still interesting and engaging.
