If you had a job that required you to use a computer back in the early
80s, I think you'd want to play games on it instead of
hammering numbers into
Lotus 1-2-3, too.
F10 was what all the
slackers at
work pressed when their
boss got
too close for comfort. When you press the boss key, you're taken to a
boss screen which acts as a decoy until the disturbances go away.
Almost every
game that
existed back then had one. Nobody had
computers at home, remember?
