Meanwhile, another arcade game from the early 80s, Polybius, was surrounded by controversy as well – causing its players amnesia, heart attacks, and paranoia. Some say the game never existed, others say it most certainly did.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Title Story Preview and Show Open00:03:03.727 = The Polybius Conspiracy, Part 100:11:51.350 = The Polybius Conspiracy, Part 200:25:25.963 = The Berzerk Death Curse, Part 100:41:17.579 = The Berzerk Death Curse, Part 200:49:03.837 = Show CloseSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Berzerk Death Curse” by Cat DeSpira: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckk96tv“The Polybius Conspiracy” by Ryan Houlihan for InputMag.comhttps://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8h6v8zWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
