1981, Portland Oregon.
A mysterious arcade cabinet appears.
In the corner of a local arcade.
The game becomes popular, and fights break out over who will play next.
Unindentified men visit the machine, collect data and leave
Without speaking to anyone
Players begin to have terrifying nightmares, insomnia, and memory loss.
Some even commit suicide.

Intro

Hello internet, and welcome to Game Theory
The show that 10 out of 10 doctors agree. They dont watch (theres 11 on the screen...)
and gaming an evil arcade cabinet that drove its players crazy being used by
shadowy men to brainwash unsuspecting gamers using bright colors and
subliminal messages
it seems far-fetched and as a result most journalists write it off as being
just an urban legend or some glitchy prototype of the atari game Tempest
however their judgments are based on the fact that no hard physical evidence of
the game exists
instead I propose turning the polygamous myth on its head and looking at it's
anecdotal evidence is there a history of real light men in black running
brainwashing tests on unsuspecting civilians
can a video game cause intense side effects like insomnia and memory loss
and ultimately why would a demonic machine like this just disappear
I warned you dear fearest that my findings may be the single most
disturbing revelation that this show has ever
in the aftermath of world war two at the US and Russia thought to become the
world's dominant superpower the US government instituted what was known as
Operation Paperclip a covert operation to recruit top Nazi scientists many of
whom had study brainwashing and torture someone who would even been prosecuted
as war criminals with their help the US began researching mind control and
behavior modification techniques under various cocaine's project artichoke
Project Blue Bird and perhaps the most troubling
MK ULTRA I would make a joke hear about this being a prequel installment for the
mortal kombat universe but the work of these agents was nothing to laugh about
because MKULTRA was a covert operation performed on unsuspecting citizens of
the US and canada
beginning in 1953 using front organizations like prisons hospitals and
universities the CIA began subjecting civilians to psychotropic drugs like LSD
in an attempt to unlock the secrets of brainwashing and develop the perfect
truth serum for example the CIA set up poor houses where they secretly drug
horny men before watching their behaviour behind one wave years in a
joke that writes itself
the mission was named Operation midnight climax but not all of their operations
were so right with comedy one mental patient in Kentucky was given daily
doses of LSD for half a year then there's the work of dr. you and Cameron
will put patients with minor depression and anxiety issues into drug induced
comas where he tried to brainwash them using tape recorded messages
terrific yes making it all the more important to note that during this time
dr. Cameron was selected to serve as president of the world Psychiatric
Association and even though this happened between the fifties and
seventies the stories continue to come out in 2009 documents were uncovered
suggesting that a mass psychotic outbreak in the french village of poles
need to screen originally blamed on a bread fungus may have resulted from a
massive MK ULTRA test and like The Bourne Identity all of this had to stay
quiet
like in 1953 with Frankel's in the US Army biochemist and biological weapons
researcher suddenly quit his job after having moral concerns about their
actions
he was found dead a week later
originally ruled as a suicide from jumping out a window in 1994 40 years
later a new autopsy revealed that he had been knocked unconscious prior to being
thrown out of 13 story window
cool story bro but what does any of this have to do with Bolivia's in November of
1980 atari released a battle zone
the vector graphic tank shooter and went with 3d goggles making it the first ever
virtual reality game
a month later the US Army contacted at re to make a special version of that
game that could be used to Train actual tank Gunners this official partnership
between Atari and the army occurred just months before politicus was supposedly
unleashed in the arcades of Portland
not only that but bedrock burg key programmer for battle zone is also said
to me the creator of Olivia's coincidence
but it doesn't stop there Olivia's was described as a half maze have shooter
with spinning colors and flashing lights that became more intense
this description perfectly mimics an LSD trip
the same drug that MKULTRA was using on civilians LSD causes users to
hallucinate radiant colors crawling geometric patterns morphing objects and
have the sensation that time is speeding up or slowing down and I know what
you're thinking how could an arcade game possibly drug a player but here's the
thing
LSD can be anything from a liquid to appeal to a little breath strip or even
a piece of jello as part of MKULTRA attempts to stay unidentified the CIA
literally hired a magician to teach field agents how to slip LSD into the
drinks of its targets in addition a related project project man had
scientists trying to determine if the drug LSD could be used in an aerosol
form if setting up brothels hospitals and universities was par for the course
why not an arcade at a time when video games were exploding on the market and
had already proven their worth in military training
finally we get to the side effects night terrors memory loss
suicide all of these are symptoms pointing towards post-traumatic stress
disorder or PTSD which can easily occur from bad LSD trips just take it from one
former soldier who was interrogated using this method that was a patrick the
pain so excruciating sound like somebody was sticking me with a million pins and
now just everywhere
many speculate that being unprepared for LSD can cause individuals to feel like
they're going crazy that they're starting to lose control of their mind
young unsuspecting gamers easy targets for such ill effects
so all told MK ULTRA in black
the government's connection to video games the conflicting descriptions of
the game itself and the negative effects felt by the players
the only trick is with the timing with the Watergate scandal having the news in
1973 the head of the CIA ordered all MK ULTRA documents destroyed and the
experiments discontinued a full seven years before polygamy is supposedly
important however of this filing resulted in twenty thousand documents
surviving the purge which is how we know about
MK ULTRA in the first place wait a minute a Miss filing resulted in some of
the governments darkest secrets coming to life
I don't buy it and neither does Victor Marchetti a 14-year CIA veteran served
during this period
wit and later hope so expos
the first book in history the federal government of the United States ever
went to war to the sensor
Victor has gone on the record to say that the CIA closing down empty ultra
the cover story a disinformation campaign to distract people from the
real tests still happening
I quote the real reason for the official secrecy in most instances is not to keep
the opposition from knowing what is going on to the enemy usually does know
the basic reason for governmental secrecy is to keep you the American
public from knowing for you two are considered the opposition the enemy
in fact they can't even lie to you about what they're doing or not tellin you
quote and doesn't it make sense that an experiment like Bolivia's would have no
paper trail
sure running experiments on unsuspecting civilians is appalling
but administering drugs and subliminal messaging to children
that's indefensible soap Olivia's urban legend or government experiment
I'll let you decide but remember it's all just a theory
yeah
