In 1997, Sir Isaac Newton discovered his need for another Function Key. He pondered that there was F8 F10, but no F9. He created Newton's Laws of Universal Function 9 Key. F9 is the only key on the modern keyboard to which its exact origin is not known. It was mentioned in the Old testement in JOB Chapter F verse 9. "And God said unto that bloke from earlier that he should never press such a button. To do so would be as to suck a horse." Despite such biblical warnings, almost all keyboards up until 2003 had an F9 key.
"F9" is the ninth "function key" at the top of most modern computer keyboards. Most games covered by this wiki use it to display something. Games developed when few if any keyboards had more than eight function keys do not use it.
