Sooooo classic! Congratulations on having these experiences.

Do you know how to strafe-run? If you run forward and hold right click and also try to turn, you end up running diagonally. This makes you slightly faster (because EverQuest physics). You can outrun mobs with normal runspeed this way. Cats, though, not so much.
Its interesting how many old games this worked on but how few new games it does. If you add the movement of two vectors you run along the hypotenuse which is longer than the two right-angled sides. Somehow it went from common programming to a beginner's blunder
