Yo. So earlier this month I remember seeing a forum user post about some weird interactions he had with one of those random online emulator websites. I saved the pics he shared to show it to some friends because they were really fucking bizarre and just in time for the month of October. However I've just recently found out that the original series of posts sharing them were seemingly deleted. Remembering the fact that the original post had very little traction, I'll just repost the images and share what the user said from my memory.

The user said that for a while, trying to play any of the listed games in the websites would just redirect him to some other random page that compiled all of the Mario games. It was just a big list of nothing but classic Mario games ready to play on the fly. Although it was described to not have been able to properly run the 3D games as it had constant lag spikes and the page's fixed aspect ratio would make it visually awkward at times, I do remember that despite all this he kept constantly visiting the website due to his younger brother.

His little sibling was apparently constantly refreshing the page as he says there was always new games being added. At the time that the posts were made, they would've found an upload for Super Mario 64 DS. However, I would like for you to see how this starts on anything but the actual intro for the game and its instead just a flat terrain with woods. It just gave off the impression that it was just some models and a stage lazily put together with an arbitrary title slapped on to cover up something.

...

The user described that he was constantly lagging behind because of the site's horrible framerate coupled with tank controls, the younger sibling often getting himself lost as the games camera would just follow player 1.

At one point the user mentioned that he kept constantly hitting invisible walls and that after a good while, his brother just completely disappeared out of the cameras sight. Here's where it gets even stranger. After messing around in the terrain for an hour just trying to see if there was a way to respawn for his brother, they just get welcomed by this.

...

Out of the fucking blue, this ominous robed figure was just staring on the other side. The user at that point asked if this was a mean spirited Halloween easter egg from the creator of the website or something and that if anybody else that was frequenting the website saw this, he would like to know what this was about in any way shape or form.

After a large time gap between posts, the user said that he'd been trying to go back and enter the website again using the same url but he kept getting these erratic error screens leading nowhere. It looked as if the screen on the guys laptop was broken for some reason.

...

After a while the errors just started filling up the screen and attempting to be redirected to the website via clicking on the other page's games was useless, as he now just kept getting blank screens.

If anybody knows what this is about or if these are connected at all I would love to understand what the fuck was happening here. If you also recognize the user please do let me know.
