Polybius

I'm never touching that cursed shit. I'm a gamer, but I believe in bad mojo and those evil rumors about a game that came out in the 80's. It's not known if it truly exists. But I believe it exists. It's supposedly a mindfuck game that was made by the government to test some kind of experiment or something like that. I heard anyone who played it reported amnesia, horrific nightmares, seizures, intense stress and other likes. I'm not touching a game that can kill me if I play and will probably haunt me for the rest of my life.

Now I have to check it out.

^^It does. But I'm just about as scared by Polybius as I am by Lavender Town Syndrome. Heck even I wouldn't suggest to the directors its worth it.

Lavender Town Syndrome? Oh, come on! Kiddie stories 😛

I got my reasons. If that shit killed a few people. I'ma just avoid Lavender town altogether. I sense the downing mood and voices of sorrow, depression, and somewhat evil as I listen to that song. It's enough to make me take the headphones off.

I do as well, but it intrigues me more than it scares me. Probably one of the creepiest and most interesting tracks ever in the gaming history (the original Red/Blue/Green version).

Just as strangely as you, it intrigued me. It intrigued me enough to look up any story about it and if there is any form or relation to the people who picked up the beta game and listened to the song. And actually felt bad side effects from it.

How bad, if you don't mind me asking?

In what context do you mean "How bad"? Like How bad does it intrigue me?

Mind the volume on this.

Headaches, Seizures, delusions, hallucinations, and possible suicide.

Listening... It's creepy as hell. Kind of frightening, actually. I can imagine it having a horrible effect on kids. But I feel no side effects, yet! 😄

I know right. Good thing I mute it when it comes down to that part.

All the time. We had console gaming but it just didn't exist in the 80's like it does now. Lots of arcade time.

The game was only ported to a town in Oregon at the time. If you didn't live in Oregon at the time you would've never played it or heard of it.
