That Would Be RadS1 E2: The Polybius EpisodeWe all remember the sweet sound a quarter makes as it's dropped into an arcade cabinet. We have fond memories of hanging out with our friends, listening to good music, playing our hearts out for the HIGH SCORE, and maybe even having the courage to talk to your crush.
But - in 1981 - during the first wave of video games and arcades: a mysterious black arcade cabinet began appearing in the Portland, Oregon area called "POLYBIUS".
In this episode, WOODY BROWN and TYLER BENCE talk about THE MOST DANGEROUS ARCADE GAME IN THE WORLD.
