Zo visits some old friends at a trailer park. It seems like a normal place with kids running amok, teenagers fooling around and senior citizens looking for someone to fix their TV’s so that they can watch their soap operas. Alex is just the guy the guy that they need: a recent high school graduate who is this neighborhood’s handyman. Zo noticed that Alex is also fantastic at the Starfighter videogame. Zo had tried the game himself and isn’t really good at it, but Alex is a genuine prodigy. Unfortunately, there’s not much that anyone can do with the skills of “Best Videogame Player” in the mid 1980’s. It’s not like you can play this Starfighter game to train to pilot an actual spaceship right? . . . Right?
