Getting rid of this machine tomorrow

I kept getting calls from a guy who wanted the machine and the videotape (I'm not sure how he got my number) but I've decided to sell it to him. He is picking it up tomorrow. He apparently said he knows the history of the game, and will explain it to me when he comes over.

Seems kinda weird how he would know but I can't find anything on the internet about it, but it is what it is. As soon as he picks it up, I'll write a blog post detailing what he knows about the game.

Until tomorrow!

The marquee in the video

I've had some people say that they could not see the marquee in the video, so I have uploaded a picture of it from the clearest part of the video.

It actually looks like the same style as the old Polybius picture to me.

It doesn't much matter to me anymore, I will probably have someone come pick it up next week. I will then start to focus this blog on other games (that people know about!)

Gotten some emails about "Polybius"

I got some emails from some people who are interested in buying the cabinet from me. They are also interested in the VHS tape, and have offered good money for it, so I think I might be selling it.

This is all such a mystery to me still, and it is stressful in a way. I would like to get back to buying arcade machines that I actually care about, and I should be able to after selling this cabinet.

If you are interested in it, feel free to contact me.

Polybius?

Shortly after uploading that video to YouTube, I did a little research and found that it could be about an urban legend game named Polybius. Apparently this game was said to cause seizures and amnesia, and the video does mention effects like this.

I don't ever remember playing such a game, but I am going to have to look further into this.
