You joke but I still remember Mamdani, 11, being quoted asking for Sim City 3000 in a magazine. He most certainly has tried Rollercoaster Tycoon, lol.

I looked it up, and yep, it's true. He was actually 11 at the time, though. Apparently he hoped to get some books, FIFA 2003, and Sim City 3000 for the holidays.
