I've heard his name before, but as I recall, that particular movie was also a tremendous let-down to me.  The effects were ok, but the writers of the script need a good ass-kicking.

I liked the film okay -- it had its moments -- but the game looks a lot better.     Superman stories need action, not repeated real estate scams.

[MDARULZ]

Thanks for the topic, Paul.  From all that I know, Jeff is probably the overall best player from the main cag era (the 80's), and Don is the modern-day equivalent.

I'm still trying to get Jeff to come to a cag event...
