upside-down program in /usr/bin/games

Tags:

linux

Was I imagining it? I'm sure many linux distros used to come with a program in /usr/bin/games that 'faked' upside down fixed width text. So for example if you input

hello

it would output

o773y

or something along those lines.

But on the boxes I have logins on these days, it's not there, and I can't find any mention of it on google. Can anyone point me towards a copy of the program please? :)
