While you're still thinking about the Megason IV (and don't tell us you're not, because we know you are), we figured we might also introduce another gaming classic, the Poly Play. It may not be from Bahrain, but this recently recovered cabinet hailing from the Eastern Bloc is way tougher for serious, especially since it's one of three known to exist. Basically it's kind like the video-game equivalent of the cold-war nuclear arms race—we started with one thing (Pac-Man) and they followed suit with a knock-off and then a whole load more on top (6 other random games). And when we finally beat them and the Berlin wall fell, the cabinets, which were manufactured in the mid-80s, were recalled and dismantled. But we're assuming it's because they could finally have REAL Pac-Man. Well, not anymore!
