Thank you, yes I did. Funny thing is, I had this crazy dream last night, about this undergraduate I work with dying. It was crazy how real it felt, and my wife said that my eyes kept twitching and blinking. I think that something about reading about this stuff and having the expectation to have these experiences may be a trigger. --- Quote from: WhereEaglesDare on May 31, 2010, 11:04:08 pm --- --- Quote from: shateredsoul on May 31, 2010, 03:19:38 am ---after reading this thread I looked up some game urban legends and ran into this...

According to the story, the Tempest-style game was released to the public in 1981, and caused its players to go insane, causing them to suffer from intense stress, horrific nightmares, and even suicidal tendencies. A short time after its release, it supposedly disappeared without a trace. No evidence for the existence of such a game has ever been discovered.[1] --- End quote --- |

I remember Polybius being discussed in some magazine, EGM I guess. I remember someone in high school claiming they played the game as well. Of course, that dumb ass claimed the procedure for dumping cart ROMS involved, "removing the game data from the cartridge, copying the game data to a floppy, then placing the game data back on the cart." No ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. :laugh2: |

WARNING: DONT WATCH TOO MUCH OF THIS. YOU MAY START TO BLOW CHUNKS. Had a thought, 1981... Portland Oregon... Suicidal Tendencies and Nightmares... Perhaps this helped spark the Grunge Revolution in the Late 80s. Maybe that could be used as exhibit A in the case that it did exist. |
| I/O:
Where is the game play? Ohhh. I wondered what the shooting sound was. None of it bothers me. I remember that the early development version of Tempest moved the screen about, keeping the ship in one place, like is shown here. It makes for a very static kind of game play. Maybe in this case if the ship were at the bottom, more like a gun sight, it might look more like 'you' were moving about. I am doubting the 'trippy' parts of the video. It would require a raster monitor. Perhaps if the system used a mirrored, dual monitor system. One below, one above. |

That video is just from the PC game someone made. |
