Technical Details
Alley Cat was not Bill Williams's creation, but in fact a game started and abandoned by another programmer at Synapse Software that he completed. Originally produced for the Atari 8-bit family, Williams then ported it to the IBM PC. The latter was one of the more popular games for the PC at the time and became more well-known than its technically superior Atari counterpart.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or details:
“A technical objection is the first refuge of a scoundrel.”
—Heywood Broun (1888–1939)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
