Inscryption captured the "videogame creepypasta" genre in an actual, pretty good roguelike video game, if you want more of this!

Are haunted/cursed games a common fear in children? I recall a recurring nightmare where my Sim Town game was corrupted or cursed. Having all of the game rules become inverted was terrifying for some reason.

For what it's worth, I experienced the same sort of nightmares, though it typically wasn't a specific game or program, more like the computer being hacked/compromised/haunted.

Short Summary:
Ben Drowned is a viral internet horror story (a “creepypasta”) created in 2010 by Alex Hall, who posted under the pseudonym “Jadusable.” The tale revolves around a supposedly haunted Nintendo 64 cartridge of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. The cartridge was unlabeled, and when played, exhibited disturbing behavior: reversed music, distorted graphics, and the recurring presence of a statue of Link with a petrified, menacing expression. The in-game ghost was said to be “Ben,” the spirit of a boy who drowned.
