GoBlocks Aftermath

In 2002 to Late 2003, David Baszucki made one of the earliest versions of Roblox, it was called "GoBlocks". It was December 13th, 2003, I got selected to test a client for "GoBlocks". A few days later, I got "GoBlocks" in my downloads. The game started and I got a black screen that said:

"start launcher"

"exit program"

I decided to start the launcher, the screen then turned white 2 times, and then there was black text in the bottom right: "GOBLOCKS 2003". My screen then went down to reveal a bright blue floor, and three yellow plates with green. There were also a purple plank leading to the third plate, which had red blocks on top of the plate. I was able to look around this map, well I couldn't look behind or left and right. The geometry rendering was also buggy. I looked at the bottom and there were a few blocks that had various colors. It seemed to look like an island. I decided to move the camera as far as I can, this caused a quick screen refresh before quickly switching into red static. "Kid saying Ouch.wav" immediately started to play once the red static came. Then the software closes with an error. https://youtu.be/b6YcdAQGFec

I tried to play it again the next day, and the error came again, but with the noise that is an infant screaming. I was extremely unsettled, and I felt like someone was stalking me. I ran outside to the backyard, and then ran to the forest. I recorded it incase if there really was someone following me, and then I heard someone walking in the leaves. I then immediately crawled. I heard weird laughs and the same infant screaming. The camera suddenly corrupted, becoming brighter. https://youtu.be/b6YcdAQGFec I found the police station and showed them the videos, they said that they didn't know who the person was.
