They are excuses from people who would not believe, scrambling for order in a world of rumors and hearsay. I think about Poly-Play and Berserk, but those are cheap tales with no connection. I sometimes try and convince myself that the memory I have is not of Polybius but of some other game. ![]() I stood in front of it, stared at the screen, pressed its buttons.įor the last few months I have watched many documentaries on the subject. When I say I played it, I do not mean I remember playing something similar, or that as for many Polybius looms as a retrospective shadow in the back of my mind. What Sinnesloschen is, who worked there, whether it was a front, I really have no idea. There are some who claim to have worked on Polybius. I know for a fact that I played Polybius in 1985. What I have for you today is not a vague memory. It runs on vague memories, shadowy recollections of a bygone era, as well as the notion of sheer possibility- that anything, no matter how implausible, could have existed for a glimpse in the past, a shimmer, a moment, seen by few and understood by none, and then rushing back into obscurity. I understand its appeal to retro gaming enthusiasts as I myself am one, having grown in the early days when 8 bits were ciommon and some machines- most of them- didn’t have music. Let me begin by saying I understand why the legend of Polybius is so attractive to many.
