I got my MSN spam this morning and saw that they have a Lego game on the Gaming Zone called Stack-It, wherein the player has a limited number of bricks and must build them as high as possible.

OK, just picked up the new SPIN, and confusingly enough, it's got a big photo of Moby on the cover. My Star Wars illustration is on page 50. But for my Moby illustration, you'll have to find Mojo. Everybody clear? @8^) -Rev. Smith (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)
