Is Polybius Possible?

The initial idea for this game has been out, apparently, since 1981. It's the story of an arcade game that was introduced to a few random arcades, and caused the people who played it to have hallucinations, intense stress, suicidal tendencies, and wake up in the middle of the night, screaming. This kinda sounds like symptoms of PTSD. Now, how accurate can this be? Can a game exist that causes something like this?

There is some scientific evidence, but not much, that claims that sound waves, known as Binaural Auditory Beats, can affect mood and perception. Some people even claiming it makes you high. There is even evidence that strong low frequency sound waves can make you feel nauseous, and give you splitting migraines. So having symptoms of sickness has been known to occur with particular soundwaves, but nothing to suggest that long term effects, similar to what is described, occurs.

If not sound, then maybe sight? Well, optical illusions are one thing. This game is thought to be trippy, with flying shapes, much like the game Tempest, just moreso. But optical illusions, although can hurt your eyes if stared at for too long, does not cause visual hallucinations. There is nothing that sight can do unless it gives you a seizure, in which case, you would not be screaming in your sleep, you'd be on the ground.

So unless you tortured these kids some other way, there is no way they would be affected this badly by a videogame. Of course, this game most likely does not exist. Even Snopes debunked it. And it meets my criteria for "it never happened." And number 3 has to always be present.

1. It was something the government did, or a big organization
2. It was highly eerie if not outright spooky
3. The evidence for it's existence mysteriously vanished without a trace, so you cannot verify what is said as being truth.

The same thing with Pokemon Eerie Black, Pokemon Wounded Silver, Majorias Mask Ben Drowned, etc. The game mysteriously vanished. But not just that, but all the kids who played Polybius conveniently contracted amnesia, making it impossible to even find anyone who was alive just 30 years ago who played it. Although Game Theory does have some good anecdotal evidence.

It's a shocker how nobody as of yet took that idea and tried to make it into a decent game. Polybius is a cool sounding name, and creating a game that incorporates the myth into gameplay would be an excellent idea. Which isn't copyrighted, so if you wanna make it, go ahead.

But what do you think of this?

Why Agahnim, Why!?!? (Game Research)

Agahnim, the dark wizard made famous by the masterpiece Super NES classic, A Link to the Past, is shrouded in mystery. What is his deal? Why is he committing these crimes?

Many believe that Agahnim is simply the "human" form of Ganon. They think this because Ganon generally takes a human form in other games, but he is always Ganodorf in those games. This would be the only time he would take the place of someone who is not Ganondorf.

When you defeat Agahnim in ALTTP for the second time, a bat flies out of his body, and leaves the mage behind. This bat is Ganon, or at least a part of Ganon. The body left behind is either the full mage, or the corpse of the mage, that he controlled to help stop Link. He could easily of just been using Agahnim as a vessel to bide his time until he became more powerful (No different than what Voldemort did in the first book). Ganon refers to him as his alter ego, but this does not mean Aganim is Ganon. As one may have forgotton, Ganon has a nack for controlling other people's bodies, including Zelda at one point. In fact, even some of Ganon's minions are keen at taking control of people, sometimes several people. So possessing someone's body in order the hinder the main protagonist is nothing new to the Zelda universe.

Now many people postulated that since Agahnim looks like Ganon, with blue skin and red clothing, that he must be the human version of Ganon. I don't think so, because whenever someone in the Zelda universe is posessed, they take on traits of the possessor. Namely, blue skin. This is seen in Zelda's posession in Twilight Princess, as well as Narue's possession in Oracle of Ages. Both obtained blue skin, and evil demeanor.

But why is Agahnim doing all this? The only logical reason with the evidence thus far, is that he was controlled by Ganon to do his bidding. Agahnim has no back story, and no, I am not going to use that horrible manga remake as evidence for the canon.

For all I can find out, there is no definitive answer. Agahnim is simply another one of those cliche' bad guys who have no real motivation. Many theories and stories can take place, but there is no true reasoning behind his attacks, unless he is simply possessed by Ganon, or Ganon's alter ego (which may be the bat, because he never again turns into a bat, ever.)
