Now for the rational, Wikipedia and Snopes reading members among us, this thing called Polybius never existed.
But for legendary British indie games Jeff Minter, not only did Polybius exist, but he's going to update it for modern day consoles.

This week saw the release of the very first trailer for Polybius for the Playstation VR. Mixing what we know about the original game with some slick new gameplay, Minter has promised Playstation Blog a gaming experience like no other.
'I’ve been dabbling in ludic psychedelia for a while now, and maybe the time and the medium was right now for me to attempt a game to at least in part replicate the effects, if not the exact gameplay, of that old legend. Leaving out all the bad stuff, of course,' he says. 'We began building a framework within which to create such a thing. To accurately convey the sensation of speed-rush that so strongly permeated the original game it was necessary to build an engine that could deliver everything we needed at 120 FPS without possibility of frame drops, and at a very high internal resolution.'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h93Gokilr8k While no release date for Polybius has been set yet, expect it to land sometime in 2017. Ready your VR systems. Gaming is about to get weird.
