Trivia

The story is based on an urban legend about Polybius, a fictitious 1981 arcade game secretly created for a government-run crowdsourced psychology experiment, with gameplay producing intense psychoactive and addictive effects in the player. Supposedly, the Men in Black visited the arcades to data-mine the machines and analyze the effects.
