History

Originally created by ENCOM founder Walter Gibbs, the MCP was only a chess program which was left embedded in the company's computer systems. Years later, Dillinger wrote the MCP to administer the company's computer network; however, the MCP had the capacity to learn and grew beyond the confines of its original programming. Capable of even gain access to the computers of the Pentagon and the Kremlin, the MCP had the ambition to control the world beyond the screens. Eventually, even Dillinger had to bow to the demands of the MCP.

The only human than the MCP really feared was Kevin Flynn, a programer dimissed by Dillinger. The MCP captured and digitalized Flynn to the world of the computers thinking that way he had stopped Flynn. And that was his mistake.
