Somebody should just make a documentary about that game. I've seen a video of it, though read it was a recreation, I didn't feel good after it. It kinda just f%cked my head.

I have a friend who was raised in the early arcade era, and he said he played Polybius, and said he started getting seizures after that, which is true he still sometimes will get them, and a week or two the arcade was gone. Kinda creepy really.

Polybius is a tricky subject that I've been researching for awhile. It would be extremely difficult to make a documentary about it, as almost everyone involved with the game has either disappeared or gone insane or died. I've only seen one actual photo of an allegedly "real" Polybius machine and the scary part is that it may have been a part of MKUltra, a government program that experimented on civilians. The only person I know of who is still around that has anything to do with Polybius is one of the originators of the myth, Christian Oliver Windler-- who started a techno-religion called "Logologie," which is a sort of cyber-Buddhism.
What would you do without your big brother?
I'd like to give it a shot and find out.

That means they were aliens contacted by the government to create a brain washing machine to lower population on Earth. The same thing happened with the 9/11 attacks. (just look at those idiots who dedicate their lives to believe it was aliens that did it)

But in seriousness, there could be a documentary of it interviewing the ones who actually played the game and experienced it. They can tell what happened to them and how the game dissapeared. I've seen a few arcade doc's and neither one of them talk about it.

I wish there was a way of interviewing those people, but no one knows where they are. Many of them are dead and others are in asylums or halfway houses.

Like I said one of my good friends actually played the game and he started to get seizures after that. He even thinks that's what started his seizures. He's not dead or in an asylum, so I'm sure there are others out there that are still kickin and able to talk about it.

Unless you're friend was living in Hillsboro or Beaverton in Oregon, their story is very unlikely-- there were only a few cabinets of the game made and they were all outside of Portland, Oregon in those suburbs.
