        "Corporate Warrior was hailed by Crain's New York Business Magazine as, 'Doom meets Wharton School of Business.'" - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes_Corporate_Warrior

          There's no citation, but I 100% believe Crain's (and Forbes) in the 90s would be hot for a game that literalized "corporate warrior".

            "it's your job to beat your competitors by shooting customers with one of numerous business-themed weapons [...] No, we're not joking and, judging by the complete lack of humour or irony, neither were the developers." 90sfps.fandom.com/wiki/Forbes_Corporate_Warrior

              This game apparently came with a manual that included establishing fiction, including the fictional scientist being all "can't put a price on love, so I moved my life into my office". Since it's abandonware, if you can figure out the tech issues, you could probably play it.
