Go To

It's the battle of the revolutionary inventors of the 20th century as Apple's founder Steve Jobs vs Microsoft founder Bill Gates face off... with an unexpected appearance from HAL.


Tropes

  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: HAL of all things shows up to to finish Steve's turn, stating how eventually Bill and Steve's inventions will lead up to him and essentially incite a Robot War.
  • Crack is Cheaper: Most of Bill's digs at Steve are how Apple computers are more expensive then a PC, even stating one can afford a doctor if they get one.
  • Follow the Leader: In-Universe example. Most of Steve's verses is slamming Bill for essentially just copying him and how Apple computer are superior to PCs. Bill however retorts he tripled his profits over Apple, Steve was notorious for stealing credit for others works, and how his product is much cheaper.
  • Hostile Show Takeover: The announcer doesn't even get to introduce Steve Jobs before he interrupts him and starts the battle.
    Steve Jobs: Let me just step right in, I got things to invent!
  • Reaching Between the Lines: Bill does this in his first turn, reaching through Steve's iPad and smacking him with his iPhone.
  • Parental Abandonment: Bill mentions that Steve was given up at birth.
  • Worthy Opponent: Bill alludes to this after Steve goes to "turn Heaven a profit".
