being out in 1981 it would have been Tempest tier visuals, with lots of Jeff Minter epileptic flashing going on. I want to believe

Fun little urban legend.

Am I supposed to ree at redditors or Twitter or pretend that Polybius is a FBI plant to cover up for Israel or something?

I never found this thing interesting, to be honest. "Oh, a cursed game that no one remembers anymore!".
All these stories have aged really badly. I remember when people were impressed by the suicide mouse thing, now you see that today and it looks like something kids tell around the campfire and get scared.

It's nice to remember we used to have actual urban legends, especially for videogames. Horror on the internet works different, hard to filter through the slop.
