To say I’m annoyed would be very much overstating it, just a (very minor) eye-roll at one small line in a generally very good article. Just the bit quoted:
currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)
So they could also be attributing it to some other country that uses for their currency, which is a few, but it seems most likely to be suggesting USD.
Grew up on Armada and Away Team, but of those, Away Team was definitely my favourite!
More recently played Elite Force, which was also pretty dang great.
