History
In the summer of 1990, Thomas Decker, an employee of Interplay, worked day and night with his team of evil programmers, evil artists, evil voice actors and evil play testers to create Mario Teaches Typing. When the team fully realized the evil they had created, they attempted to destroy all copies of the game. Fearing that the game could be recreated by brain scanning team members, the team members suicided for the greater good. Unfortunately, 17,000 copies of the game were not destroyed. (Apparently, even with the power of teamwork, destroying video games is difficult)
