Polybius - the most mysterious game of all time?

Allegedly, some time in 1981, a game showed up in just a handful of Portland, Oregon arcades, called Polybius. It was described as being similar to Tempest, and it had children, teens and adults lined up out the door for a chance to play the machine.

The game's diabolical intentions were revealed when players reported experiencing nausea, nightmares, insomnia and amnesia. Players with epilepsy had seizures induced, and some people even say that the game caused them to have suicidal thoughts.
