Hmmm, thak you, Kyle, but no. I never had a PS, so that can't have been it.
Something a few days ago reminded me of a game (or maybe a book) I saw a long time ago where there was a company that built starships for combat. Their official motto was "Built in space to fight in space", but since they were notoriously cheap (both in price and staying power), the joke motto was "Crunch all you want, we'll make more."
I want to say this was part of some sort of card game, or maybe a video game, but I'm not at all sure. Does anyone recognize this?
