Gaming’s oldest urban legend is Atari’s fault

Polybius is gaming's oldest urban legend. It's a cursed arcade machine that supposedly caused illness, amnesia... death. Of course, Polybius is just a story. But the legend is so believable because of real shady business dealings: knock-off Atari games, shell corporations, and military propaganda. Jenna Stoeber explains the true story behind Polybius.
