“items. While Monster Hunter included a single-player mode, its appeal was its online play. The five-man crew who had worked with Capcom thought some the game's networking code looked awfully familiar. "Same network infrastructure, same style of gameplay [as the PS2 Diablo title]," Joe Morrissey said. [Return to Chapter]”
David L. Craddock, Stay Awhile and Listen: Book II - Heaven, Hell, and Secret Cow Levels

“Unfortunately, calculating square roots was not the Atari 2600’s strong suit.”
David L. Craddock, Arcade Perfect: How Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat, and Other Coin-Op Classics Invaded the Living Room

“In 1976, Bill Joy, the hacker who would lead development of BSD UNIX, wrote a text editor called vi, short for "visual," that allowed users to move their cursor and edit text anywhere on the screen.”
