Polybius
This is a fictional tale based off the urband myth. During the early 1980's a mysterious game could be found in many arcades across Portland, Oregon. Some may remember an all black arcade cabinet, with no title to read upon display. Many were intrigued and a little unsettled by the bare arcade cabinet, that appeared to have no name or art style to it at all. This strangely drawn in a lot of attention, beating the far more colourful competition, as the game's screen was supposedly hypnotic to look at. Players were seemingly entranced by this machine, like as if it possessed some sort of Hypnotic spell upon it's victims. The spirals and lines that crossed and dashed all over the screen, were fascinating to behold, with the perfect sounds to hook unsuspecting children into playing such devilry. For those unfortunate players would soon become addicted, spending every last cent they had to play a game or two, or three, four, five, six... Yet, it wasn't just the drug-like obsession that destroyed these poor innocents. Players would soon suffer severe side effects. Many would feel nauseous, some would have terrifying nightmares and others, most unfortunate, would suffer seizures and so much more. Yet these players would return time and time again, without fail, even after leaving the hospital, they'd crawl right back to it. They'd play the game non-stop, even at the detriment of their own health, until an untimely death would finally free them of their addiction. This game began to disappear across every arcade within Portland, after these harrowing stories began to spread like wildfire. Sadly, this only made the game more infamous and sought after, many began to give this game the nickname of "Polybius". Some have claimed this arcade cabinet always had this title on it, others say different. It is uncertain whether or not this game truly did display it's title or not, for it is believed that every cabinet was destroyed by 1983.

Evolution of games
Once upon a time, in the not-so-distant past, games were simple affairs played on rudimentary devices. The earliest games were little more than pixelated blips on monochrome screens, captivating players with their basic charm. As technology advanced, so did the world of games.
