   @atomicpoet can personally note that Apogee was a big deal in the UK, Greece, and Cyprus, fwiw!

     But sometimes I think Apogee was a more important company than Commodore since they pioneered the shareware market, the FPS genre too, and kickstarted a renaissance in PC gaming design.

     But ultimately, I think Commodore is more important because, not only were they significant to North Americans but Europeans too.
