Was the Polybius Arcade Game More Than an Urban Legend?
from Everything 80s · host Jamie Logie
In 1981, strange black arcade cabinets started showing up in a Portland Oregon arcade. Then there were reports of kids getting sick while playing games at this arcade. And what about the reports of Men in Black hanging around the same arcades? Thus begins one of the all-time great urban legends. Was the Polybius arcade game created by the U.S. Government for mind control and to recruit kids as soldiers? This is a look back into the myth that will never die and why there's some actual "truth" to some of the theories. Show Notes: The Polybius Arcade Game Support the Show: Patreon.com/80s
