In a 1997 interview, Danielle Berry talked about the history of the game:{{blockquote|"Computer Quarterback" was written only for myself and friends to play on the computer at work. I later converted it from [[Fortran|FORTRAN]] on a mini-computer to [[BASIC]] on an Apple II and sent it to Strategic Simulations.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hague |first1=James |title=Halcyon Days: Interviews with Classic Computer and Video Game Programmers |date=1997 |publisher=Dadgum Games |url=https://dadgum.com/halcyon/BOOK/BERRY.HTM}}</ref>}}<br />
