As interesting as this urban legend is, the theories behind why it exists are also pretty fascinating. Supposedly the tale of Polybius might have been based on exaggerated and distorted stories about an early release version of the game Tempest that was known to cause photosensitive epilepsy, vertigo, and motion sickness.

Further coupled with FBI raids on and FBI-agents monitoring machines in several arcades in the same area due to the arcade owners being suspected for gambling. (source)
