Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a strange and unique story--Polybius, dubbed "The Most Dangerous Arcade Game in the World."
The lore surrounding Polybius is the stuff of legends--literally. And, it includes the CIA, possible mind-control research, and Men in Black!
A shoutout to Red Treehouse listener Duanne Walton for the episode suggestion!
Does this game actually exist? Or is it nothing more than an urban legend?
