The legend of Polybius goes that In 1981 a strange video game showed up in a select few arcades in Portland Oregon. Kids who played the game seemed to experience amnesia, forget who they were, where they lived etc, and suffer from extreme night terrors.



The game was reportedly serviced by men wearing black coats who instead of collecting the quarters from the games, took only data from \"records\" inside the machine. Rumors were starting to grow that it was developed by some military intelligence agency such as the CIA.



The game was not around long and was pulled from the arcades nearly as quickly as it arrived. There is no known machine in existence today, but ROMs have surfaced over time, though the authenticity of them has not been verified.



The story of Polybius was first documented on the site coinop.org in 1998 www.coinop.org/Game/103223/Polybius



I first learned about the game on the Astonishing Legends Podcast, and thought the story was so amazing and also felt it was the perfect inspiration for my new album.
