Earthbound Halloween Hack 

A Halloween ROM Hack fan sequel based on Earthbound by Toby Fox. It was made before Undertale. In the hack you play as Varik, a bounty hunter hired to traverse the now spooky world of Earthbound in order to track down Dr. Andonuts for his crimes after Ness and his friends didn't return from the past when defeating Giygas. The hack hasn't aged well in recent times with parts of the story being overly edgy and the final boss using the f slur, leading to Toby Fox disowning it. The Halloween Hack is also where the hit song Megalovania was first heard and there are some references in the hack that would later be reused for Undertale and Deltarune.
Person 1: "Hey Toby, remember that Earthbound Halloween Hack you made?"

Toby Fox: "Never speak to me again."

Earthbound Halloween Hack 

Earthbound Halloween Hack is a game (an earthbound hack) created by Toby "Radiation" Fox using the program PK hack in 2009 for a Starmen.net's Halloween Funfest. Its protagonist, Varik, comes from another game called Brandish. In short, Varik is given a mission to hunt down the moster that killed the girl's parents during night. The hack is overwhelmingly hard and requires a lot of grinding, and Toby himself is not fond of it. In his deleted twitter post, he called it a "Bad romhack with swears" and asked to not bring it up.

I myself would highly recommend everyone to play it, as this is an opportunity to see how greatly Toby advanced as a writer, compositor and game developer since then.
"Do you know about Earthbound Halloween hack?"
"The one that has Megalovania in it?"

"I'm gonna play Earthbound halloween hack"

"I grinded to level 6 and I still can't beat ANYONE! Why is it so hard?!"

He didn't know he forgot to equip the sword and the armor, as he never played earthbound before.
