Anyone got any details on the mythical arcade game Polybius?
I have a cabinet in my garage, but I don't own a camera so you can't see it.

Driving home from work after watching that video was weird. Kudos to Ahoy to conveying something kinda spooky with his presentation.

Can't wait for him to do one on boomerangs
I'll be honest, this video introduced me to Ahoy. His videos are fascinating to watch, almost documentary quality. He has a great voice, too.

read this in his voice
The irony is that Polybius was the name of a Greek schoolar who was quoted as saying something like "don't ever believe people if they don't have proof" or something to that extent.
>In the seventh volume of his Histories, Polybius defines the historian's job as the analysis of documentation, the review of relevant geographical information, and political experience. Polybius held that historians should only chronicle events whose participants the historian was able to interview, and was among the first to champion the notion of factual integrity in historical writing. In Polybius' time, the profession of a historian required political experience (which aided in differentiating between fact and fiction) and familiarity with the geography surrounding one's subject matter to supply an accurate version of events. Polybius himself exemplified these principles as he was traveled and possessed political and military experience. He did not neglect written sources that proved essential material for his histories of the period from 264 BC to 220 BC. When addressing events after 220 BC, he examined the writings of Greek and Roman historians to acquire credible sources of information, but rarely did he name those sources.
