You cads with your fancy carcade gangs. The G-LOC gang I was the only member of in was where it was at 8-)

It was kind of like the G-unit but with less ice and more sidewinders.

Wonder Boy Gang repped the local swimming baths in my our trunks. Sometimes we'd hang with the Pang Gang for some Ping Pong. They said there was another Wonderboy crew from down their way. The Pang Block Wonderboys.

I always fancied traveling across Europe. But the car is in the shop and my arcade monitor is broken, too :problem:

2100km one way for a round of Virtua Fighter sounds boss though 8-)
