• In the final round of match 1, X was down to his last pixel of vitality.At this
point, any special attack would knock X's character out if connected, since
special attacks deal chip damage even when blocked. In an attempt to win
the round, Wong attempted to hit X with Chun-Li's multihit Super Art
move Houyoku-sen (鳳翼扇, "phoenix-wing fan"). However, instead of
avoiding it, X chose to "Parry," a technique whereby an incoming attack is
blocked without the player losing any health, but by doing so requires
moving toward opponent's direction in the same time a hit lands, within
four of thirty frames per second of the impact animation. After the move
was launched, not only were all 15 hits Parried, but X also managed to get
into a good position to make a powerful attacking combo that knocked
Chun-Li out instead. This moment, and the ecstatic cheering of the
spectators that followed, was recorded and later spread on the Internet,
gaining immense popularity.

• A tactic used by snipers in FPS video games. Older than the COD
franchise, this tactic has been made heavily popular with COD:
Modern Warfare 1 and 2.
The tactic itself involves utilizing quick reflexes to spot an enemy,
center them on screen as best as possible, and then zoom into your
scope only to then fire as soon as the crosshairs are visible.
Some view it as an exploit. This is due to the fact that the crosshairs
essentially "lock on" briefly and allow one to achieve relatively easy
one-shot kills. A missed shot usually means one need only quickly
repeat. Since it's primarily dependent upon reflexes and simple
visual cues, sufficient practice by any player eventually leads to the
ability to X repeatedly with a diminishing overall vulnerability while
doing so. X is a tactic, Id X

• "To produce a fun, addictive and fast multi-player car
racing and crashing game" was the idea behind Race
and Chase, a game created by DMA Design. The game
sucked except for one glitch which made the police in
the game go apeshit for no reason and try to ram you
off the road (their AI accidently kept trying to drive
through the player). The designers decided not only to
leave the glitch, but also to build the entire game
around it.
• The game was eventually completely overhauled. What
was this game released as and How do we now know
DMA Design?

• X made by John Romero was the first one to be in a Sidescroller
engine on the PC. The first map was a clean rip off from Super
Mario... It was developed for the Apple II and DOS as an example
game to accompany his article about his GraBASIC, an Applesoft
BASIC add-on, for the UpTime disk magazine.
• The object of the game was to collect gold cups to move on to the
next level. Since the original 1988 publishing of X on UpTime, there
have been three sequels and three ports of the original to other
platforms.
• The idea of X came to John Romero under the influence of Super
Mario. There are definitely similarities that are easily noticeable,
such as the secret levels, the level design, the monsters, and the
jumping. The mission is to guide Y through ten levels, collecting
trophies in the hideout of his enemy, Clyde
