Polybius

Polybius is both an important Greek historian, and also interestingly an urban legend about an arcade game that was supposedly set up by the government as a psychology experiment in the early 80's. According to the legend it was extremely addictive and gave its users intense side effects like seizures, amnesia, insomnia, night terrors, and hallucinations. Allegedly the machines just appeared mysteriously one day, were visited by men in black who analyzed the data, and then disappeared completely after about a month. There's no evidence any of this is true, but it is kind of fascinating.
Anyway, somehow while thinking about Greek historians and government run video game experiments, I came up with this intrumental.
