An Urban Legend dating to 1981 and The ''Golden Age of Video Gaming'' – it was said that in several American Cities (New York, Chicago and Los Angeles), a ''mysterious'' Video Game ''suddenly'' appeared in Arcades. Called ''Polybious'', The Game was said to have been created by ''secretive elements'' of The US Government, as a means of ''inducing mind-control'' over youths. The Game supposedly induced ''trace-like'' qualities and cause some to ''go insane'' or have ''emotional problems''. Cerebral Seizures were also reported. When local News began to investigate the claims – all ''Games'' seemed to ''disappear'' from circulation. Urban Legend or something else!
