It has been a mutant monster only made possible by unconnected computers. People always play games together. All of you learned to play games with each other.

The single-player game is a strange mutant monster which has only existed for 21 years and is about to go away because it is unnatural and abnormal.</p> <P><I>– me, at the <A href="http://www.churchillclub.org/">Churchill Club</A></I>
