And what a wonderful page it is! No offence meant! :)  I will make sure
I
list it  and your other excellent pages on my own fledgeling website.  I
am
currently working on links to various games, FT, DS and SG.  If anyone
has a
link they'd like to pass on to me, feel free - I've done a lot of dead
link
chasing recently and would rather have current addresses rather than
waste
people's bandwidth.

According to something I read recently, the number 6 is the perfect
number
in cabalistic circles as the numbers 1, 2 and 3 add up to 6, and 6 is
divisable by all of those numbers.  The normal use of '6' as the best
number
(as the high number) in most gameplay apart from SFB would suggest there
might be a dark gaming society at work and we should all be on our
guard.
Anyone who has rolled tops on an A battery/Class 3 at close range and
seen
'The Omen' should know what I mean.

Got to go now, I know they are watching me.. the agents of the shadows
are
everywhere...
