Jigøku Shøjø I'm sure that one was the inspiration for the other. These two sadistic murderers need to be found and face a jury of their own peers for swift and rightful justice
Uh no, they were killed by stuff unrelated to the game. One person was killed by a heart condition, while another person was killed by a guy who was booted from the arcade.
The actual trailer is more messed-up. It features a gross, poorly-animated sex scene with Vanellope and Elsa. At the end, Elsa shrinks and it turns into a vore video. ...Actually, that might have been something else.
Fun fact: Berzerk was also the inspiration for Castle Wolfenstein, which, in turn, was the inspiration for Wolfenstein 3-D, the grandfather of all first-person shooters. So in a way, you can blame "The Killer Arcade Game" for all the moral panics surrounding violent video games too.
Reallybrux342 the video was probably on unlisted and for patreons only before. That's why her comment is here before us, plebs, actually saw the video.
I agree. I feel like it’s just the media making excuses and overreacting to make it sound like a harmless arcade title causes a calamity. Also, if Berzerk was actually a curse, it would’ve follow the same steps as the Hope Diamond and “Hands Resist Him” painting.
I just noticed that when you kill red robots, they explode into Evil Otto’s face For some reason, i want a theory about this game. (not the deaths, but the actual game)
One of my favorite things about Berzerk is that the enemy is named Evil Otto. That implies that there’s another, presumably good, Otto lol Maybe Good Otto would be a frowny face that healed you if you ran into him or something?
I used to play Berzerk a lot, and I don't think it is a coincidence that the first two deaths known to occur while playing an arcade game were on Berzerk machines. The game was genuinely unnerving. First there was the zap noise when you got killed, which sounded like a bird flying into a high tension wire. Then there was the progression of the game, which sped up as you got through the levels, along with the randomness when you started a new level - sometimes you'd get screwed by the starting position and die immediately. Because of these details, the game did a great job of getting your heart racing, and I can see why someone with a heart condition might die from playing it, especially after a particularly stressful game. By the way, 16,660 would have been a huge score for Berzerk, rarely achieved by even the best players. Once you got past 7,500, the game got seriously fast. Reaching 16,660 would take the reflexes of a hockey goalie along with some luck - as mentioned before, getting screwed by a bad starting position wasn't uncommon.
I just wanted to to say that the polybius myth was put to rest in a documentary by a youtuber and it was interesting. He went indepth into the myth and has 1 hour worth of evidence and arguments to why polybius was a myth. I highly recommend the video to those who are interested, including u scare theatre. I think that you'll really like it. Edit: The name of the TH-camr is Ahoy.
>kid plays game >dies to heart attack >same thing apparently happened to another guy among millions that play >must be the work of devil I don't see how this is any different than christian parents saying Pokémon is evil or some bullshit like that. Just another stupid case of fear mongering, from the looks of it.
Can you do a video about how the “Momo challenge” sounds almost exactly like the blue whale game? I saw the Washington post covered it and it really reminded me of the latter.
I was watching this Slender movie review. I saw Scare Theater comment on it. Then i got bored of the video. So scrolled on youtube. Saw Scare th. So i clicked on it. :D
Found your channel after TSV mentioned working on your channel and wow youve been at it a long time and your a genius been binging your content amazing work hope its paying off for you. you deserve any and all success i'm a new hardcore fan keep uploading please.
This was my game back in the 80's !!! It was usually the first I would play whenever I went to the arcade , and had many high scores . I admit that when " Evil Otto " would emerge I did feel quite a rush and maybe faster heartbeat , but never any illness . Just pure joy ! In fact the one at my arcade was on sale for around $300 , and all I could think about was how the hell I could buy it ! Also on a side note : There was a sequel to Berserk that came out later and was much more difficult ! " INTRUDER ALERT !!!
This is as silly as my theory that bubble bobble is about being stuck in a cycle of purgatory and rebirth until you have a lifetime where you able to constantly avoid evil and the specter of death, find a soulmate and experience enlightenment together.
Recently they built an arcade in the city where I live and it has a ton of 80s arcade games, I went today and I got to see what my parents grew up with. It was truly amazing.
The fact that teens can a have undiagnosed heart condition made me more scared than what this video was actually about

Yeah, especially since I’m a teen and I could have an undiagnosed fatal heat condition all my life without knowing 🙃

just ask a doctor to get checked out its pretty simple.

Any mentioning of the (666) topic, is a fairly-enough evidence to debunk any rumor (Regardless of those unfortunate death incidents).

The only thing this "Momo challenge" has in common with Blue Whale is that it's a fictional moral panic.
