They called me Alf or Flash because my first name was Gordon... I preferred shumway :-)

Number 6 was just born 2 weeks ago.

Back in those days we would play for hours and hours trading off the controller. I actually found beating Side Pocket harder. I only did it once and never could repeat it. Ninja Gaiden we beat several times.
