Behind the Laughter
The game is a reference to an urban legend, claiming the existence of an arcade game titled  that would cause players to suffer from amnesia, insomnia, horrific nightmares, and other problems, and was supposedly filled with subliminal messages. The game was said to have been distributed in very limited quantities to only a few arcades, coincidently, located in. In some versions of the myth, the game is said to have been created by the U.S. Government which is why "Property of U.S. Government" is printed on the front of the machine.
