Episodes of Weird Darkness are often posted to YouTube a day later than the podcast due to the fact that it takes Headliner.app (which I use to create the video version) several hours to process.
“MURDERED BY 1980’S VIDEO GAMES: THE TRUTH BEHIND POLYBIUS AND BERZERK” #WeirdDarkness
It’s rumored that an arcade game from 1980 named Berzerk might lead to the real death of its players. 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.
