1997: Hasbro releases Battleship for PC in the US. But the game stinks because it's really, really difficult to cheat against a computer. At least twice as hard as cheating against small children (as I generally prefer).

1998: The ESRB revises its K-A (for kids to adults) rating, renaming relettering it to E (for everyone). I applaud the ESRB for this change, as there is nothing worse in this world than a crappy acronym. Seriously. Mark T.H.I.S.M.E.A.N.S.N.O.T.H.I.N.G. Wilson
