On this day in 1990: Chris Roberts (@croberts68) and Origin Systems release Wing Commander.

I bought my copy in September 1990 (for MS-DOS 3.30, on 5.25” floppies). Back then games came with a lot of stuff. Books, maps, diagrams. Image

Nowadays, barcodes can be found in nearly every product we buy in stores. Developed in the 1950s, barcodes were originally based on the Morse code.
The square-shaped QR codes were invented in the 1990s. The Japanese spare parts manufacturer, Denso Wave, developed the quick response (QR) code for marking spare parts packages in 1994. Pictured: Masahiro Hara of Denso Wave.
