Oddly enough, Akka Arrh's gameplay seems to be in fitting with some of the ways Polybius's gameplay has been described in accounts, and the game's extremely limited early testing might have made an imprint on the very few kids who spent their quarters on it... probably coincidence, though.

Akka Ahhr makes me wonder... could it be what inspired Polybius? The gameplay looks like every Polybius remake I've ever seen. The tempest like gameplay, plus the unique (and I imagine migraine inducing) zoom mechanic, plus the rapidly changing colors... Hell, being a market test makes sense as to the whole "vanished as soon as it appeared" part if the story. The only thing missing is the popularity angle. I'm guessing that Akka Ahhr started rumors in the arcade community that, over time, morphed and contorted wildly before becoming the bassis for the Polybius story, which would then go on to achieve even higher levels of fame.

Could Akka Arrh be the origins of the Polybius urban legend? The dates only a year off, the game play sounds like it could match, the flashing lights could cause a lot of the symptoms playing Polybius was said to cause. The men in black could be people coming to check on how popular the game was. The supposed long lines for the game could be people misremember and attributing lines for Robotron to Akka Arrh.

Hot take: while I definitely don’t encourage people to impersonate someone to break into a house to steal something, I can’t find myself mad at the guy. The “collector” didn’t have one but TWO cabinets of the game? He had it for years and knew people wanted it dumped so they could play. The only reason I can see he did that was for the power trip of having cabinets ye would graciously let people play at events from time to time. The fact he had an OG cabinet is cool and novel as hell already. There really wasn’t any other reason to keep the game to himself like that.

@McCaroni_Sup

Normally I'd be opposed to theft, but is there really anything wrong with what he did? From a material standpoint, nothing was stolen. The ROM itself is still on the machine. From a value standpoint, perhaps you could argue that he stole the value that having the game undumped brought. Though this is another ethical debate in and of itself. And it certainly wasn't his obligation to dump the ROM. However, I do think that as a rule anyone who finds a piece of game history should dump it and upload it if possible. Keeping it to yourself is a disservice to the gaming community, since who knows when your cabinet will die? If that cabinet dies, there's a good chance that the last copy of the game dies along with it. So I'd say what the thief did was for the greater good.
