Some time prior to September 2003, Kurt Koller, the owner of coinop.org (the Web site featuring the earliest known description of the supposed game), submitted a message to the video game magazine "GamePro" about "Polybius". "Polybius" then appeared in the September 2003 issue of "GamePro", as part of a feature story on video games called "Secrets and Lies." This is the first known printed mention of the game, exposing the legend to a mass-market audience. The article declared the existence of the game to be "inconclusive", helping to both spark curiosity and spread the story.
