No great mystery-I didn't get my first computer until 2002, and the first game I played on it was Red Alert II. I needed a handle for regular and occasional online play, and Order99 sounded vaguely military...
That, and the fact that Agent86 was taken. Given my sad Gaming Skills it would have been a perfect fit...the actual Agent86 on the RA server swatted me like a fly in online combat BTW.
