    Polybius

    Okay, Polybius is a game that game out in the early 80's. Supposedly it caused amnesia and terrible nightmares. Here's the info I found on it so far:
    Coinop.org /// Polybius (1981)
    http://www.coinop.org/g.aspx/103223/Polybius.html
    Polybius arcade game, released in 1981. Information on this arcade game and more.

    Apparently, Polybius was a Roman officer, who was really into cryptography. Well, being the dork I am, I found some results for Polybius on a cryptography website:
    -Children
    -Problems
    -Physical
    -Question
    -Behavior
    -Products
    -Yourself
    -Personal
    -Pictures
    -Distance

    Dun dun dunnnnnnn
    Anyone have any more info on the game?

      It's a hoax.

      Also, Polybius was a Greek historian.

          Care to back that up? I am intrigued.

              That it's a hoax? I don't really have any proof, other than what I've read on other forums, pbnation for one.

                                  I wouldn't mind a little bit more prrof than "Yep, doesn't exist"

                                  Also, something that is either a coincidence or INCREDIBLY <B>*POOF*</B> SCARY

                                  Here's the thread on PBR
                                  look at the date that thread was started. Now look at the bottom of the SNopes page, where it says Last Edited.

                                      Generally I don't talk about something unless I know about it, for futur reference of course.
