Lo jugué en casa de un amigo, con la luz apagada, y esas tumbas me daban un miedo horrible.

Ma cousine y jouait sans arrêt, moi je regardais surtout. Les caméras me donnaient mal au crâne.

Ma cousine à moi faisait pareil, sauf qu'elle criait à chaque saut raté, tout le quartier savait.

72% de victoires pour un jeu de 1996, c'est solide, mais 243e place ça reste bas vu ce qu'il représente historiquement.
