The Most Dangerous Video Game: Difference between revisions

== [[Urban Legends]] ==

* ''[[Polybius]]'', an (entirely fictional) arcade game of American youth and urban lore that's become ubiquitous thanks to the Internet. The game, so the story goes, is a ''[[Tempest (video game)|Tempest]]'' knock-off that appeared in Portland arcades in 1981. The children who played it suffered from all three of the symptoms detailed above before [[Driven to Suicide|killing themselves]] in the middle of the night. The game disappeared shortly afterward, as suddenly as it had come - in some tellings, wheeled away by mysterious [[The Men in Black|men in black]]. Someone actually decided to make a [[Defictionalization|Polybius game]], purposely simulating elements found in the mythology (subliminal messages, supernatural things, and so on). Of course, they can be toggled on and off. [http://www.sinnesloschen.com/1.php See it here].
