Gato was a slim,
dark-skinned
gypsy.
A clever,
loyal
gypsy.
Yeah, right! You
spend an hour on
each game!
He would die
in Malaga,
years
later, of an
overdose. But
back then
he was an
elegant, easy-
going kid.
And also the best videogame
player in the world.

a go.
He was one of those people you can picture
just stepping aside to let problems pass
them by, without so much as touching them.

just let me
do a couple
of screens.

bored of watching him kill little green men by then, so I was leaning up against a
column, smoking, daydreaming of becoming a famous artist.
