Was just browsing around arcade game sites and came across this.  Interesting!

Anyone else seen/heard about this before?

I can honestly say from reading the little info on it that it is a massive rumor.
When a gov angency does do something like that they make it seem to be as normal as possible.

Such strange and extreme claims are made but there is absolutely NO factual evidence anywhere to prove its existance.

And in one of those things people were saying in the scroll bar. Nothing about this game is on any main stream gaming sites.

Holy Crap! Sounds like CIA Neo Nazi operatives were brainwashing us to hate video games! Hopefully Captain America did something about it.

Don't worry Captain Nintendo did something about it.

I've heard it mentioned quite a few times over the years and I think it's mentioned in one of the books I've read.. Far as I've heard it's totally an urban legend and nothing more. I think the mention is in The Ultimate History of Video Games which is a book you should all own :P
