POLYBIUS ROM FOR SALE TRIAL
It ties a real mystery/urban legend to the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, hinting at a supernatural explanation. This game was out for a very short trial run of one month in small arcades in Portland Oregon in 1981. In a way, the use of a Polybius cabinet in the background is not unlike Loki’s early flashback that reveals that Loki is the mysterious criminal, D.B. Perhaps the presence of the game is the entire reason this bowling alley was pruned - man-in-black-style government agents certainly sounds a lot like the TVA. The Polybius cabinet appears in more than one shot of the episode of Loki, as if some set dresser really didn’t want it to be missed in the edit. Polybius has been cheekily referenced by The Simpsons and was eventually made into a real-life video game by Jeff Minter, developer of trippy fare like Tempest 2000 and Space Giraffe. Adding to Polybius’ mystery are tales of man-in-black-style government agents monitoring the machines and collecting data about players’ behavior. Players quickly became addicted to the game, the story goes, but suffered from psychoactive side effects. The legend describes the game as part of a government-run crowdsourced psychology experiment based in. The myth of Polybius involves an arcade machine that was supposedly test marketed in Portland, Oregon in the early ’80s. Inside a converted bowling alley is a motley collection of pruned objects from across history, including, of all things, a Polybius arcade cabinet. In episode five, we are introduced to the strange bunker/hideout of four pruned Lokis, banished to the end of time for crimes against the Time Variance Authority. But there’s one more reference in Loki’s fifth episode, “Journey Into Mystery,” and it has nothing to do with Marvel Comics.Īnd while we’ve known about it since the first footage of Loki was revealed, now we can take a guess at how it fits into the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe.
