All of that and more on the podcast that’s never had our mind controlled by a video game, but HAS controlled a video game with our minds…and forearms…and fists – Hysteria 51. And is the Power Glove just…so bad (yes, of course it is). Plus, is C Bot’s favorite game Global Thermonuclear War or Tic-Tac-Toe (hint: is isn’t Tic Tac Toe)? Who’s the best at Dig Dug (hint: it isn’t Brent). Did the game really exist? If so was it some sort of mind control experiment by the government, or something even more far fetched? Could it have been a testing ground to find the best and the brightest future stars of the US military? The H 51 I-Team investigates (but mostly just plays video games). The PS4 version was EDGE Magazine's VR GOTY in 2017, and the PC version of the game was even used as the basis for a NIN music video. It features 50 levels of blissful trance shooting action set to a blistering soundtrack. Soon after it appeared, the mysterious arcade game vanished without warning-leaving no record of its existence. POLYBIUS is a fast, trippy tunnel shooter playable on a normal screen or in VR for the best effect. Polybius, allegedly only in a few arcades, was under constant surveillance by (you guessed it) men IN BLACK SUITS. Polybius never existed or at least, the mind control/altering version of the early 1980s never did- people have made home brew versions in. Then you get nauseous, have horrible nightmares, suffer from convulsions, and maybe even die? Oh wait, the Street Fighter 2 marathon didn’t do that? Well, a mysterious arcade game in the outskirts of Portland, Oregon did in the early 80’s. Ever played a video game and felt almost addicted? We’ve all been there.
