Now here's something interesting I'd never heard before.
Polybius, a supposed arcade game from the early 80s, was rumoured to cause the people who played it to have seizures, to get depressed and even commit suicide. Several reports of Men In Black collecting "data" from the machine have been made.
No-one even knows if the game exists. There are actual display cases and cabinets for it that do exist, but no-one is sure if it's real or not.
At least, except maybe Springfield.
(Notice the Government warning on the front).
So has anyone heard anything about this?
