So, Wow! Dude put up an article about the creepiest urban legends in the history of gaming, and, while I won't tell you what number one is, it shouldn't be hard to figure out considering this game shows up as frequently on game urban legend lists as The Beatles show up on most influential bands lists.
Anyway, it got me to thinking about Polybius, which is a game that almost everybody has heard about, but if you haven't, here's a great video on it.
I'm sure we've had threads about Polybius before, and I might have even started one before, but what the hell; let's talk about it again!
What say you, FANs: did Polybius truly exist as a secret Government experiment that gave people serious health fits, or is it much ado about nothing?
Personally, I doubt it exists and I highly doubt the validity of Steven Roach's claims, but the picture of an alleged real cabinet from Instagram is interesting. Of course, when the Wikipedia picture for Polybius is a fan-created cabinet, it sort of makes you doubt that claim that it's an original cabinet and not a replica.
Fact or not, it's an interesting topic for sure, so how do you feel about it?
