Well, it's been 5 hours since I last posted ...I finally completed all of the Junkbot levels, with a score of 1093. Now, shouldn't I be ranked #23 on the Hall of Fame? 'Cause I'm not.

I think of them in the second way. After all, if it can't be used in a (...) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic.bionicle)
