I am concluding this is a fabricated urban legend, perhaps to promote an independently produced movie (like what was done for Blair Witch). I'm a videogame journalist and am investigating this.

If it truly is out there does anyone happen to know where it can be located or downloaded from? I want to be one of the few insane people to try it since Portland '81." Various sites and magazine companies have been reporting that a ROM of this devastating game seems to exist. If anyone has any information on where I can find the rom or any other information that might help please contact me at 22:58:08ZĬomment: "I have been reading a lot about this game recently, and am actually crazy enough to want to find it. If you are looking at this site you probably read the artice in gamepro so maybe since more people know about it the truth can be discovered. "Ĭomment: "Sinneslöschen means senses deleting in german and polybius was a greek philosopher. Or mabye it was already emulated, but it wiped out any memory we might had had of it. my email is if you have the ROM and would like guinea pigs for your evil experiments with this game, I sacrifice my sanity for the sake of weird science."Ĭomment: "This game should be emulated on MAME like yesterday.

Quick update, we just wanted to go on record here that Steven Roach is full of himself, and knows nothing about this game. If anyone has heard any additional information about this game, we'd appreciate hearing about it.

Found english strings "insert coin" and "press 1 player start" and "only" - looks like a 1 or 2 player game.

We've contacted one person who met him, and he claims the machines disappeard after a month or so and no one ever heard about them again. The game was weird looking, kind of abstract, fast action with some puzzle elements, the kids who played it stopped playing games entirely, one of them became a big anti videogame crusader or something. They just collected information about how the game was played. They're not interested in quarters or anything, The bizarre rumors about this game are that it was supposedly developed by some kind of weird military tech offshoot group, used some kind of proprietary behavior modification algorithms developed for the CIA or something, kids who played it woke up at night screaming, having horrible nightmares.Īccording to an operator who ran an arcade with one of these games, guys in black coats would come to collect "records" from the machines.

The history of this game is cloudy, there were all kinds of strange stories about how kids who played it got amnesia afterwards, couldn't remember their name or where they lived, etc. This game had a very limited release, one or two backwater arcades in a suburb of Portland.
