I love when people dig down to get to the bottom of stories like this.
And there it is! The best possible outcome: the story was true–it’s something that was done during the game’s development–but it was also fixed before the game actually shipped
At least the Morrowind on Xbox version of this is real (I think?)

I’m like 98% sure this happened with MOO2. I have it as a core memory of playing that game and was really disappointed that the newer bundled dosbox version doesn’t do that. I have the disk from back in the day still now all I need is a windows 95/98, anyone able to point me to a resource to virtual install them on Windows 10 and I’ll see what I can find out
There is virtual box, install shouldn’t be too different from any other os
Are the disks optical or floppy?
