I think Kali deserves mention, as the first really large-scale
exposure of internet gaming was it making it possible to play
LAN-enabled games over TCP/IP.  DWANGO, TEN, and the other private
network matchmakers didn't make any lasting mark, but without Kali,
things might have gone very differently.
