about Posted July 16, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Back in the 80's, there was apparently an arcade game that gave people horrific nightmares, and stuff. Really scary. It's been proved to be fake though, check out this. WARNING: The following page is very disturbing Polybius Btw, it has been reproduced. I remember seeing a TV show a while back, where an expert psychologist made this game, and put it in an arcade. Then a guy went and played it, but it was really disturbing to him. At one point in the game, he shot a woman dressed in a bride's dress and he fainted. Weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick_fury Posted July 16, 2005 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2005 It would be great to make a mock version of this game like suggested in the article. If I had the resources i know i would. Watching those kids crap themselves when the howler pops up on the screen would be hilarious. And if you were really enterprising you could build in a camera to photograph them as it pops up and then sell them the photos a la amusement park rollercoasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

about Posted July 16, 2005 Author #11 Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) I've never heard that and I do all my french on good ol' paper too but it's hand to know how to do accents on a computer. HOld down the Alt-Grip (not Alt!)button and press the vowel. Look! áéíóú EDIT: Looked up 'a la' in the dictionary. Strangely enough it is real; but it still does have an accent on the a! à la also a la Audio pronunciation of "a la" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ä lä, ä l, l) prep. In the style or manner of: a poem à la Ogden Nash. Edited July 16, 2005 by Galor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_fury Posted July 16, 2005 #12 Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) Genius Galor! I learn something new everyday here on UM Anyways back on topic before the mods come a calling Polybius is more than possible, did anyone see a show by a certain illusionist called Derren Brown, he created a zombie game that put this guy into a trance, then deposited him in an environment identical to that of the game, scared him witless, put him back into the trance and placed him back at the arcade machine. And to top it all off, the guy thought he'd been playing the game the whole time Edited July 16, 2005 by nick_fury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
about Posted July 16, 2005 Author #13 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Yeah thats the one I saw! It was so funny when he was being transported on the trolly with his bewildered friends running along side him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausaria Posted July 16, 2005 #14 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Obviously the game never existed, and that video game from the Derren Brown show (as well as that entire segment) is probably fake. It's almost impossible to entrance someone using a video game, because the person would be forced to stay alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
