When I read the sentence, I was like “Wh… w… how? WHY? …and OF COURSE it was distributed via FTP, I mean, what else do you use for entertainment in AIX. Or business, for that matter.”

    Every time I see yet another obscure game/platform article or video, I realise that I’ve once again forgotten how little most people delve into the history of their creative media. I’m teaching myself about Soviet clones and niche Japanese systems that came out before I was born, and some 20-something self-proclaimed video game historian is releasing a video titled “The most obscure game that NO-ONE remembers” and it’s about Legacy of Kain or Space Quest or Sly Cooper or some other million-selling franchise that just hasn’t had a new release in the last 5-10 years.

    I’m waiting for these guys to get old enough to start seeing “world’s most obscure game” videos about Minecraft and Fortnite.

    AIX is pretty obscure as a gaming platform, though, I’ll give you that.
