@vga256@dialup.cafe This was one of the last Apogee published games in the interval of Apogee’s original life. ISTR, it only received a little bit of oblique co-marketing before its release (with what, though: maybe a leaflet in a commercial box of Raptor: Call of the Shadows). I can’t recall how I found out about it. I might have found it by trawling their FTP server periodically (I was into modding some of the earlier games).
When I opened a bank account in Switzerland (moved there some time ago), I asked the agent if she had ever seen „one of these before“ (holding a cheque in the air). She was about my age, cocked her head to the side, and asked if she could get a colleague. The colleague was near retirement and told her what it was. Her reply to me: „I remember my grandparents talking about these!“

@vga256@dialup.cafe Check out Mystic Towers for some real weirdness.
@Lats @matt @ajsadauskas @Etterra Try the United States; still alive and well.

@ajsadauskas @Etterra The use of „check“ in place of „cheque“ (financial instrument) needs to go.
