So, I've got a Polybius cabinet... it's just smaller. You can jump on the KickStarter at nnerd.es/Polybius, and bag yourself your very own quarter scale Polybius arcade machine. The guys at Numskull are excellent chaps, so the hope is this video tips them over the funding goal.

This has got to be clickbait right? D:
clickbait
Clickbait. Shame on You moron.
There's a Polybius cabinet in Oregon. No ones ever had any bad experiences or seizures while playing. I think the legends started because of the graphic style. Its not raster based. Game got pulled because of massive screen burn in.
How the hell do you play them if the screen and controls are so small?
Pretty cool. Like New Wave Toys Replicade 1/6 scale change (token) machine USB hub. 👍🏼
Polybius was not a myth or fake. If the name is wrong, there were units in arcades into the 1990's. There were news stories about it. People had headaches and were affected when playing it. It was possible to play it for a long time and get good at it. The CIA and other spy agencies around the world do tests and have de-classified documents.
Wow, cash grab much.
Do quarter-size arcades machines typically include a quarter-size quarter?
Someone dump the ROM of this
polibus inst real
Rip off video
Expected a clever trolling. Got a long-form ad instead.
What a bummer, you usually have such quality videos.
Er, nice ad I guess
I want I want I want!!
For anyone that hasn't seen Ahoy's video on Polybius yet, check it out.
No thank you
I'm disappointed.
I had that red one!!!!
Polybius is nothing more than a joke. Playboys .. it’s a fu basically
Good to watch this, but it really confirms that the world has gone totally bonkers.
When USB are mentioned, some of its retro-ness vibes evaporates!
seems like im glad i did not order one honestly...
Not convinced that this will do much more than just gather dust and the over the top praise doesn't sit well - essentially an advertisement though to be fair the position is spelled out early on. Click bait title just to drive up views is a shame...
Clickbait ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nostalgia Nerd: Makes video about Polybius myth Ahoy viewers: *yawn*
Having pointless crap on a shelf is not a hobby
i'Ve GoT a PoLyBiUs ArCaDe CaB (nO, rEaLlY)
Polybius is some irl SCP.
This is pathetic; I really hope people unsubscribe from this channel.
NLworld so trash, I only JUST got the noti for this, anybody else?
The coin slots should officially work to turn it into a bank. For sh*ts & giggles, make it say CREDIT: XX when u add them. ;-)
just fuck off with the clickbait
I thought he had the actual one not a mini remake
dude, that's just a scam, but with extra editing steps (no, really)
Full sized arcade cabinet [ ] Has the polybius game on it [ ] Can run other games on it [ ] Basically just a kids toy that won't be fun for more than a minute or two. And not more than 10 to a kid with lots patience and imagination. I think its the main reason people dislike the video. I expected something proper. If they had made a full sized cabinet that ran of a raspberry pi board and that shipped with a polybius game that would have been an interesting project for an interesting video. Because then you can get something interesting out of it. But this thing is not a proper cabinet and its not even a game.
Well, they can't all be hits. Love your content, but gotta give a dislike to this one, this title is really stretching.
I can't fucking handle your clickbait titles anymore
Am I only one that thinks they are hiding a game in there? so it'll be an easter egg to find through a button combination?
Quarter cursed now.
Feels like you screwed up with this one NN. Not the kind of content I've come to expect from you. :(
Looks like the pcb inside driving the screen @4:44 is a basic mp4 player, of the type found inside video brochure cards. try plugging into that USB portbehind the LCD, and you'll find some video file for polybius.
I recommend watching Ahoy masterpiece video about "Polybius" history. And all the rest of his channel.
Gpod job

This was in the arcade back in the day when I was in high school and I know of 2 incidences where the person who played it disappeared and was never found.
This video is great it shows how to start down the road of hording stuff and becoming a horder a mental disorder
Untrue and non-heteronormative.
I don’t know how you’ll be able to hack it, it’s not going to have a functional joystick. I think they best you’ll be able to do is run a Pi and a wireless controller like an 8bitdo
There is no such game as Polybius. It has been proven to be a hoax for some time now. The same applies to killswitch. These games DO NOT exist. Urban legend.
So much misery in the comments.
What the fuck where you guys expecting, a ghost arcade cabinet?
Clickbait videos now? Time could of been far better spent putting the legwork in researching for a proper video.
This was obviously clickbait, but I clicked
Well that clickbait title was enough for me to unsubscribe. Good luck to ya.
Normally such awesome content hopefully this is a once off
ehhhh... not sure about this.. this video.. feels more like an ad/sponsor kinda disappointing i'd say.. i would highly preffer more factually based videos, or atleast based on interesting things/culture, rather than a product
If anyone is wanting more info on Polybius, Ahoy has a really good video on it,
I was expecting a real one. What a let down
Yeah and I have got the Polybius season pass 😂
"No, really" (but no, not really)
Thanks. Unsubscribed.
Anytime you upload a NLworld title that has the word "Polybius" you are going to be getting some "unwanted" attention.
Is Ashens Jealous?
What a shit advertisement and click bait. I've never wanted to downvote a million times so badly.
Clickbait bs title. Thumbs down for you today, sir.
*NOSTALGIA NERD, YOU LIED TO US!*
Anyone know what the background music at about 3:00 is?
Only cause 1/4 insanity
Aren't you supposed to disclose sponsorships?
ugh, everyone and their mother has done a video on this silly game that wasn't even a game until everyone obsessed about it.
Profiting off a game that doesn't even exist. Imagine buying this crap.
Some dumb twats will I see Kickstarter I stop watching "Let's buy a minute cabinet of a game that doesn't exist yayyy"
At least it will serve as a power hub I suppose.
"Probably made up" is just a polite way of saying "fucking bullshit", isn't it?
Haven't seen anything more useless for a long time! Why not make a game?
Hardcore clickbait
I just don't see the point. Why make a Polybius cabinet, if it doesn't play polybius?
Because Polybius doesn't exist.
Ahoy did the best documentary on this, give it a look if you're curious.
Jesus your microphone is atrocious. Good content but you need to upgrade your microphone
are you telling me theres a polybius arcade machine in norwich??????? my home town?????!?!?!

@Jaczob sezoo?
Don't waste your time clicking this video. It's gay af.
nlworld.info/key/video/26ubhtWpiWegj4g asd
@NUX cause 8 bit roolz PC droolz full screen animations r great!
omg im dying why u made me click that.... link X\
Don't waste your time clicking this video. It's gay af.
Lame
The amount of bitchy, entitled little cry babies in these comments because of a slightly misleading video title... The guy creates unique, quality content for you all - which you view FOR FREE but the moment there's something to have a moan about you're on it like a shot. Anyone would think he just broke into your houses and pissed on your kids. Of all the click-baity, lazy content creators that just put out dross to their followers and you all choose to whinge about this? Embarrassing!
not* really
You were in Portland and you didn't say hi?
Excellent introduction to Polybius if you don't know about it. nlworld.info/key/video/wG-JaL7IsJuYr54&ab_channel=Ahoy
For that kind of money you could just buy Minter's Polybius 20 times over. Those currys aren't going to buy themselves.
Clickbait dude. Disappointed man, Disappointed
@Light i can see theres no really any point in me arguing with you, as your example of "proof that barack obamas real name is barack obema" is ridiculous, and the way you round of your comment "that its common knowledge that polybius doesn't actually exist unless you're a lobotomized goldfish" honestly, you sound like you have the mental maturity level of a 10 year old feel free to get the last word in against me if you want, but im not gonna waste my time with this convo (specifically with you) anymore
@EnderCrypt then if i made a video called "proof that barack obamas real name is barack obema" would that be clickbait i dont think so because its common knowledge that its barack obama and not barack obema in the same way that its common knowledge that polybius doesn't actually exist unless you're a lobotomized goldfish
@Light that doesent make it any less clicbait, clickbait is when something (a title/thumbnail etc) tries to draw overt attention by using misleading/lying information it doesent matter if people "know" something already, clickbait more than often intended to make people doubt themself and click or just "click to make sure, just incase" your argument that "its not clickbait everyone knows it's a myth" would be just like justifying say.. scamming, because: "its not scamming, everyone already knows these tricks"
its not clickbait everyone knows it's a myth
I'm waiting on The Bishop of Battle.
Love the AVGN polybius video
Wow, a Polybius phone charger. How exciting.
Cool. It's a $100 USB hub. That is such total crap, charging that price for something so fucking useless.
@Jaczob To be entirely fair, they are prototypes. The finished versions will all have the USB hub. ...Power only. No data sharing with your useless desk ornament ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don't forget the other pointless version which doesn't even have the USB hub...
Stop calling it quarter size. You're not getting that tiny thing to take quarters! Gawd...That thing won't even take dimes, let alone a quarter..
but is it "nice"?
WHAT, no game? EFFIN POINTLESS.
My toenails moved back inside the moment you tried to pronounce "Sinneslöschen"
As much as I love your content, I could feel you weren't happy with this video. You've struggled to say anything positive that would be of actual substance. You sound kind of dead. The title is just straight up clickbait. This ain't it.
THIS AINT SPOOKY
I got to play a full size Polybius a couple years ago at the Free Play Florida videogame convention. It was well done, and the game itself was pretty fun. Vaguely like Tempest, but with subliminal messages and other little details. I was expecting this video to be about that machine. Instead it's about an expensive quarter scale USB power hub? Nah.
you also didn't meet santa, sorry to break it to you
no you didn't lol
Fake af guys it's a tiny recreation of the old cabinet and that ain't the real thing so F this guy for lying
