Roger and Wilco are procedure words which, in radiophone communication, mean "I understood your message and I will comply". Development and releaseRoger Wilco was developed by a US startup company called Resounding Technology. Three of the company's four founders were roommates when they were undergraduate students at Princeton University: Adam Frankl, Tony Lovell, and Henri de Marcellus.[2]{{rp|14}} The company began publishing pre-release versions of the software in the autumn of 1998;[2]{{rp|16}} the first general availability release, Roger Wilco Mark I, followed in May 1999.[3] The company distributed both the client and server as freeware. The server software, Roger Wilco Base Station, was developed for Linux, FreeBSD, Windows 9x, and Windows NT.[3] Development of a client for Mac OS never progressed beyond the alpha phase.[4] Mpath Interactive, a startup company in Silicon Valley, acquired Resounding Technology later that year, and renamed it to HearMe, Inc.[5]In December 2000, GameSpy bought the Roger Wilco intellectual property.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}} In early 2001, they integrated an updated version of the client software into their game server browser, GameSpy Arcade.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}} Players could use the Roger Wilco software if they bought a subscription to GameSpy's Game Tools suite.[6] GameSpy published the final version of the Roger Wilco client for Windows on July 8, 2003.[6] That year, a vice president of consumer products at GameSpy Industries told The Boston Globe that Roger Wilco had about 5 million users.[1] See also{{Portal|Video games}}
