Youtuber Stuart Brown, aka Ahoy, is well known for his exhaustive and expertly produced gaming videos, as well as his smoky British narration voice, which could make tax code documents pleasant listening. He's tackled some big subjects before, but his latest video is his best yet.

Ahoy went after Polybius, the oft-rumored 1981 arcade game, which was supposedly a mind-control tool used by the government to turn unsuspecting kids into guinea pigs. No concrete evidence of the forbidding cabinet has ever surfaced, but the amount of research Ahoy has done here is nothing less than laudable. At over an hour it's his longest video yet, and quite a riveting watch. 

So does Polybius have any basis in fact? Watch on, and find out.
