    * N64 games such as Paper Mario have bugs that allow running arbitrary code in-game
    * N64 emulators such as Mupen/Bizhawk have bugs that allow for malicious game code to hack your PC

    The amusing consequence: A TAS [Tool-Assisted Speedrun] that, when played back, bluescreens your computer.

    A fun sandbox escape! Always interesting to see theoretical threat vectors proven possible.
