Odd that the Wikipedia article doesn't mention what is almost assuredly the actual basis of the legend -- the real East German arcade game "Poly Play" (so named because it had several games in it). After all, besides the similarity of the name, there is the fact that the Polybius game was supposedly created by a fictitious German company "Sinneslöschen".

- hopler 8y agoThe only connection is the shared lexeme "poly" which is a common lexeme in English, and having a single detail connected to Germany? That's thin for "actual basis" of the legend.
