appeared then and did something.

• Long before ________________ DMA Design, was working on a game called Race’n'Chase. The
concept for the game was defined as: “The aim of Race’n'Chase is to produce a fun, addictive and
fast multi-player car racing and crashing game which uses a novel graphics method.”
• As far as the play testers were concerned, the game sucked, except for one glitch which made the
police in the game go crazy for no reason. Instead of politely pulling you over, the cops would ram
you off the road (their AI was accidentally trying to drive through the player). Suddenly everyone
was crashing non-stop. Play testers thought this was hilarious, and in fact abandoned the
missions just to screw around and see what kind of mayhem they could cause. The designers
decided to not only leave the psychotic cops in there, but build the entire game around the kind of
ridiculously violent car chases caused by the glitch.

• In an era that saw a slew of great Nadeem-Shravan's soundtracks was one which
sealed the success of Kumar Sanu and Anuradha Parwal and that of the composers too.
The producer was strictly of the opinion that the movie could possibly only ride on the
success of its music. Moreover the poster of the movie had a element of curiosity and
along with the great music, ensured that the cinema halls were packed?
• A recent blockbuster movie shared the concept about music and incorporated a new
idea to ensure every track becomes a hit. It also adopted the similar style in the poster,
however it did not create any curiosity this time for obvious reasons.

• In the mid 19th century, German bankers needed a quick way to get stock exchange
prices from Paris, but had no means to achieve this due to the inaccessibility of the
telegraph system from Germany to France. A young German bank clerk, Paul Julius X,
came up with a plan-he used carrier pigeons, which became the missing link between
Berlin and Paris. The carrier pigeons were much faster than the post train, giving X
faster access to stock news from the Paris stock exchange. Thus, in 1851, X was
founded.
