Ah, Mr. Mix, a classic in gaming Creepypastas.
This is actually the first gaming Creepypasta I remember reading by myself, and I still remember being scared of it then too.
So, let me get into why I still greatly enjoy it, and have it number 24 on my list, starting, yet again, with the positrives.

Creating a whole new fictional game is a hard thing to accomplish in any story, especially Creepypaasta, as it can't be simply refrenced, but elaborated how it should work, and what happens when it doesn't
Mr. Mix is a perfect example of how to do that.
The low budget, computer game reminds me of similar games on disk avalible for older PC's.
While to some, this may seem low budget and easy to make up, and you'd be right, but this gets the pass of being both old, and authentic to earlycomputer capabilities limited to things such as typing games for kids.
I love how the creepyness is sub layered, where there's the unnervingness of the strange and warped music and sounds in the first few levels, and the true, visual horror of the images locked behind an impossible task, almost as if, it was made to only be seen by those that act dishonestly, for this being a hacker.
The endng was also quite unnerving to me, back when I first heard it more, but still fairly creepy today.
No idea what happened to all of the hackers, and only one was found, essentually like a monster, which means, what is the state of the others?
And what exactly did they see that made them that disturbed.

As you can tell, I really enjoy this story, so why is it only 24?
Well, there are very few negatives I can say.
The most obvious thing is the eyes bleeding trope, which has been demolished into the Earth, to the point where it becomes an eye roll, this story was one of the first to follow that, but like Gateway of the Mind, this problem is more of a fault of a modern overdone cliché.
Other than that, I simply just like other stories more, but I've liked this one since I was a kid, and I still do, which is why it is number 24 on my list.
