Ahoy Documentary

I'm surprised there is absolutely no mention of the Ahoy documentary and deep-dive on the topic. He did more research and dug up more details and facts than anyone ever has. In fact, Stuart Brown even contacted the person who most likely started the whole legend.

Lemon Demon's song "Cabinet Man"

the song cabinet man by Lemon Demon (Neil Cicierega) in the album Spirit Phone was allegedly based on polybius and i would like to add it but i can't find a direct source for this which is why i'm not adding it. there's chatter on reddit and whatnot but that's not exactly reliable.

if anyone can find a source directly from neil or commentary on the album please either let me know or add it to the "other media" section directly! Tripodfish (talk) 04:20, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add "Kingdom Eighties" in the video game list.

One of the screenshots gives reference to Polybius. I haven't played the game myself, but should be given a check so you could scrap more info about it.

The game can be added in the "Legacy" section. Clazzette (talk) 13:09, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. This looks to be more an easter egg than something inspired by the Polybius legend. Wikipedia is not a collection of trivia. GSK (talk • edits) 16:03, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
