I worked for many years as the staff writer for Infocom, an entertainment 
software company, and we italicized the titles of all our products in the 
newsletters, ads, and packaging materials we produced.  I don't think we 
even questioned it.  It just made sense to us to treat software products 
the way we'd treat books or movies.  Maybe it was partly because we saw 
ourselves as "producers and publishers of interactive fiction."
