I love Aftermath to death! It's peculiarities aside, the worldbuilding stuff was worth it's weight. It was also the first place I saw "End of the world by the return of magic" which, for me at least, put it well ahead of Shadowrun.
Somewhere I have a copy, well thumbed, just in case I need to frighten players.
There is an apocryphal story of a Supers session at Murdoch (I think) where one day the GM turned up with the Aftermath rules along with the usual Champions stuff. The player spent the entire session ABSOLUTELY convinced that one false step and thw world was gonna end.
Turns out the GM was just lugging it around from the previous session in the day.
