Other-M, one of the most successful and original Sonic fan-comics, recently released their latest issue, OM#3. This issue marks two special events for Other-M: the first issue released only on the Official Site, and the first issue to bare the mark of the recent Other-M/Sonicverse Team merger.

Speaking of Sonic Underground, Shadow of Light now has all 40 Sonic Underground songs on MP3 ready for download. That's not all, we also have the French versions as well!
Head do this page to comence your downloads!
Yep, Sonic Underground turned one today, with it being the anneversery of the day SU aired in the US, plus SU.net along for the ride.
On a side note, a fan manga of Sonic was just recently found on the net by Qtoken. Okay, Sega's said it before: SU is BEFORE Sonic met Tails. But who knew that before SatAM, before Archie, Before Sonic 3, BEFORE TAILS WAS EVER INTRODUCED IN 1992, there was SU? It was featured in a manga that was published in 1992, before Sonic 2. It features Sonic as a kid, along with a brother and a sister, both havin the resembence of Manic and Sonia, except in the comic, Manic is wearing glasses, and Sonia jas a FUNKY hairdo. Look for yerself. Could this be the pre-Su that existed before Tails' time? WB had this to comment on the manga. "The manga in reference is titled Shonen Jump - its the same manga that Dragonball Z and Dragonball and currently Akira Toriyama's new project Sand Land are serialized in. HOWEVER - I dont THINK its fully official. But then again - this is a case where we would NEVER know. You see - Shonen Jump is notorius for unnoficial stuff. However - you're absolutely correct. Theres NO WAY this could have been after Sonic SatAM. This is DEFINETELY before considering Shonen Jump doesnt do this anymore. What QToken found is whats called a "Fan manga". Its not official, but printed officially by a respected manga artist. Shonen Jump used to do this sort iof thing if I'm correct. The kids look NOTHING like Sonia and Manic, so I doubt theres any relation to SU at all, EXCEPT for the idea that it was out there before SatAM. It leaves wonder as to what other "goodies" are sitting out there in manga land. Sorry to dissapoint - nine times out of ten it probably isnt SU related, but it IS a gem nonetheless and newsworthy. And like I said - if this was in Shonen Jump and been on the net this long it was definetely before SatAM. So while the mysteries of SU have yet to be solved, this could (or could not) be a key to where the idea may have been layed.
Those of you who has Starz! listen up: "Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie" is coming BACK to the station again for one time only. If you have Starz! (and if you're an early bird), then look for it Thursday morning at 6:40 A.M EST. If you don't have Starz!, then call your local cable company and tell them "I wanna see Starz!" sorry... ^^
This catchy piece from SegaWeb.
JC Penney is all about the DC. They have been selling the console for a paltry $159.99 for some time now, but they are giving up something extra now. The retailer is offering a package consisting of the console and all the trimmings bundled with NFL2K and Sonic Adventures for the same $159.99 price tag. Check it out, but make sure you get the right product number if you want the package deal. Credit:SegaWeb News Bytes Diamond Comics have come across a slew of books its seems - and all of them are Knuckles. So if you're looking to complete your back issues - here's what they got: JUL001610 KNUCKLES #23 (O/A) $1.79
Read the article.... Sega's really pushing the PR standard.
Who says that Hollywood is the only place for big-time premieres? Apparently, Sega didn't get that memo because it has planned a little something something for all its fans that have been shut out of the ECTS in London. Because the game-playing public is excluding from participation in the European Computer Trade Show, Sega has come to the rescue by offering a Hollywood-style premiere for its upcoming roster of titles. The big-screen Dreamcast premiere will be held at the Empire Cinema, Leicester Square London, and will feature a host of titles scheduled to hit stores by Christmas. The idea is to exploit the Dreamcast as the "world's only Internet-ready games console" as well as bring some attention to the holiday lineup. Reportedly, the event will hold approximately 800 gamers as they scurry to check out some of the first online DC games that they will be playing in the near future. Among the titles scheduled to appear, the UK's first public showing of Quake III Arena running on a Dreamcast. And if that wasn't enough to wet your panties, the main event will feature a 40-minute screening of breath-taking visuals and gameplay specifics to water your eyes. To further emphasize the fact that this event is not for the industry suits, Sega has commisioned the likes of Sonic, Ulala, and some of the Soul Calibur faves like Ivy and Mitsurugi to appear and pose for pictures. Now wouldn't that look nice on McDeez's desk? One thing is for sure, if you can't get into the ECTS and you want to see some of the best interactive games for the next few months, you better hop on the bus and get your hide to the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square. Tickets can be had only if you visit the Sega Dreamcast booth in front of the theater on Friday, September 3, the day of the showing, from 1:30 pm until 5:30 pm. You might as well hang around to get a good seat because the doors open at 6:00 pm for the show that starts only 45 minutes later. Do you want to be in the know? Do you want to see whay you'll be playing in a few short months? Tickets will go quick, and you already know what that's like. Credit: SegaWeb News
Sounds like a damn good one too.....
Many contests that companies put on are lame and serve alterior motives anyway. However, let it be said that Sega is not one of those companies. It goes all out to make sure that its fans are getting the very best in gaming, and it throws in a stellar contest to boot. Sega wants to send you to Key Largo, Florida to swim with the dolphins. No, really. Sega has announced its "Swim With the Dolphins" radio contest that can out you in the water to meet one of Ecco's cousins, or maybe Ecco himself. The contest will be held in 10 cities via participating radio stations for whoever can make the best dolphin call/sound. If you live in one of the following cities and/or listen to one of the following radio stations, you may be a winner. The cities and radio affiliates are: WBCN Boston The way to win is to have the ability to sound the most like a dolphin out of all participants. After calling into the station, you will be asked for your best attempt at sounding like a dolphin while on the air. When your blowhole is tapped out, the station's listeners will then call in to vote on who was the best. Those who pass the on-air test will then compete in a playoff of sorts to determine the regional winner. Beyond that, the nationals to determine who gets to swim with the dolphins. If you don't make it that far, it's not a total loss. Twenty-five winners per city will take home a copy of Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future for Dreamcast. An additional five winners per city will receive a Dreamcast console. And if you haven't guessed by now, the grand prize is a trip for two to Key Largo. So brush your teeth and gargle well to gear up for your best dolphin sound effects. Who knows, it could make you famous. Maybe you could star as the voice-over in the next Flipper series.

Some DreamMouse goodness for y'all....
Sega of America has answered the prayers of many a gamer by announcing that it would release a Dreamcast-specific mouse peripheral to go with the keyboard that it has already shipped. One question that baffles us at SegaWeb is: Why did it take so long? Recently, Sega launched its mouse peripheral in Japan to admittedly mixed reviews. Many who have experienced the mouse have divulged a common complaint: the size. Many felt that the Japanese mouse was, well, mouse-sized. Too small for many, it is reportedly easier to maneuver with two fingers rather than the palm of your hand. Everyone knows that Americans like things big - big cars, big houses, big guns, and big women. Okay, so maybe that's just me... SoA has seemingly fixed this and has a new, revised mouse for its finicky American gamers. The new mouse is undeniably smooth and easy to control. Admittedly, it is akin to a standard PC mouse, but hey, that's what we are used to. What did you expect it to do, make coffee and iron yo' clothes, foo? It is pretty basic and contains features that we have come to accept as standard including, but not limited to, the left and right buttons. The coolest feature that Sega was smart enough not to lose is the scroller dial. Undoubtedly one of the most innovative features that has ever graced a mousepad is present on your DC mouse. Also on the mouse is a button on the left side where your thumb rests that could serve a variety of purposes while browsing or gaming. All in all, it may be nothing to write home about, but it certainly puts a jolt in our shorts. After all, what fun is web surfing with your DC/keyboard combo without a mouse? Fret no longer, Dreamcast faithful. This will soon be in your sweaty little palms. Sicko. Credit: SegaWeb News
Sigh.... get ready for another Lieberman tirade, folks....
The FTC has leaked a report that shows that game publishers are knowingly and deliberately marketing mature, M-rated games towards a younger crowd. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman, and former Presidential candidate John McCain has requested a hearing on the report for September. Of course, Vice Presidential hopeful, Joseph Lieberman has expressed a certain interest in testifying at the hearing. Ugh! Credit: SegaWeb News Bytes
I've found a pair of Sonic auctions on E-Bay that could prove interesting, especially this first one....
The first one is all 26 eps of SatAM Sonic on tape. However, be prepared to shell out some major cash.... The second one should be interesting to all you aspiring artists out there. It's a How to Draw Sonic and Friends book. Unfortunely, all outside the USA are out of luck, as this person only ships within the states. Just a couple of things I felt worthy of pointing out to y'all.
Sega now seems to have one less worry.....
Sega recently settled the lawsuit that had it tangling with Media Optix for some time now. The suit centered around a patent that both companies were fighting over, although that particular patent remains a mystery. The suit was settled with an agreement by both parties, however terms were not disclosed to the public. Hmmm... Credit: SegaWeb News Bytes
Okay, I finally found the address for Disney. Disney now holds the rights to AoStH so they probably own the right for SatAM as well. Write KIND letters to Disney requesting SatAM to return to the air. Remember, be nice or they won't read it.
Buena Vista, 500 S. Buena Vista Street, Burbank, California 91521-7690 Stay cool! I didnt seem to have caught this before - but it seems that longtime Sonic artist Steven Butler will be leaving the book. Found on KP's messageboard: Right now, things have gone into overdrive, as Steven Butler has let it be known that the KNUCKLES story in SONIC #91 will be his last, resulting in Justin and I trying to figure out what's what. There's quite a bit of stuff going on behind the scenes and I should have some news to report later this week, most likely for the first time at my online chat this coming Wednesday. Steven Butler - for those who don't know, started his run on the book on the Naugus Trilogy, the end of the "Mobius World Tour" saga. An excellent artist, his talents will be missed to Sonic.
I suppose I should explain why I've been gone for two weeks...basically, I took some time off to enjoy what's left of my Summer, and that didn't go so well. So, I used up what was left of the time to focus on my own site. That said, you're probably wondering where the new RA News is. I can tell you it's coming September 10th, when we're right in the middle of the Sonic Amateur Games Expo.
But, for now, here's all the Sonic and Sega news that's happening now.
Now, for over here.....
The Sega All-Stars games are now in effect. They are Sega Bass Fishing, NBA2K, NFL2K and, of course, Sonic Adventure. You can get either of these four for just $20 now. Credit: TSF Newsboard
Looks like European gamers are in for a pleasant surprise....
Could European Dreamcasters be set to get cheaper games too? It would appear a program similar to Sega of America's "Sega All Stars" is currently in the works for our friends across the pond. Rather than shelling out big bucks (big pounds?) for games like Sonic Adventure and Sega Bass Fishing, European gamers may soon find their costs cut in half for Sega's modern classics. Expect more on this story as it develops. Credit: SegaWeb News Bytes
Gamers will be able to play upcoming Dreamcast games! But you'll have to go to London to do it. This comes from SegaWeb....
Every time a big video game show rolls around, gamers get psyched about the impending news blitz and, at the same time, pissed off because schmucks like me and the other folks at SegaWeb get to wander around playing all the cool games long before anyone else. The inevitable complaints about the stupidity of shows like ECTS and E3 being closed to the public run rampant. Sega feels your pain, people, and they're doing something about it. This year at ECTS, Sega will be giving gamers the chance to sample its upcoming library of Dreamcast goodness. The playtest will be held at the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square, London, and from 6:00pm - 8:30pm on September 3, the doors will be opened to Sega fans everywhere. While no mention of specific titles has been made yet, you can bet some very cool stuff will be on display and playable. Hey! It's just like a gaming version of that room in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Only without Oompa Loompas. Sound good? We don't know what Sega has up its sleeve, but one has to wonder if this is purely an altruistic venture. Giving fans a sneak peek is certainly a way to generate some interest in upcoming titles, and good word-of-mouth advertising is always helpful. Or maybe the company just wants to say thanks to its loyal supporters. Maybe if you American Dreamcasters are good children for the rest of the year and make sure to wash behind your ears and clean up your rooms, Sega will do something similar at next year's E3. Some interesting news for y'all.... Credit: SegaWeb News
Some new info on a Dreamcast peripheral....
The new Dreamcast camera is on the way! I'm scared. Note toself: Catch up on beauty sleep ASAP. The Dreameye may sound like a cheesy 1950's horror flick ("It came from outer space to... err... look at things strangely! And... other stuff! Bad stuff!"), but any savvy gamer knows it just might be the coolest thing since Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon took over Marvel's "The Punisher" (okay, so that's cool to me anyway). It's the Dreamcast peripheral that will eventually allow obscene gestures to be shared among fragging multiplayers and your face to be scanned onto your favorite video game hero's head. And it's coming our way. Well, technically it's heading to Japan first, as with nearly all peripherals and most games. After numerous delays, Dreameye is scheduled to finally hit store shelves September 14. The complete Dreameye package is expected to contain the camera itself, a new version of the microphone peripheral, and other goodies like special software that allows real-time chat, sending pictures taken with the camera via e-mail, and other cool stuff. So when can Europe and the United States expect to see the Dreameye? We can't tell you. No dates have been hinted at, and the peripheral has yet to be officially announced for release anywhere outside of Japan. It's a safe bet to say we'll see it eventually, however, as its potential uses could mean a new level of interactivity for console games, and we know Sega is all about pushing the envelope when it comes to the Dreamcast. Keep your eyes on SegaWeb for any and all new developments. Credit: SegaWeb News
Some news for you on-line Dreamcast Freaks....
In an attempt to drum up some more business for the Dreamcast hardware, Sega is planning to release an Internet Starter Kit for the console in order to draw attention to its online capabilities. Targeting older users and housewives who aren't necessarily gamers, but who are looking for a cheap way to get online. The kit will include the DC keyboard and recently-released mouse (both in that snazzy see-through "skeleton" design), a mouse pad, Internet software, and the Japanese equivalent of the "Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Online and Finding Porn." Or something like that anyway. Credit: SegaWeb News Bytes
This just in! There are several new Sonic mini games for cellular mobile phones. They include Sonic Logic, Sonic J. and many more! Go to Tyro's news page for more information including screenshots.
Station Square version 2.0 is finally here! The site went under many changes and updates, including a big update on the rumors and theories section! Besure to check out the new Station Square @ http://www.geocities.com/station_square  See the image to your left? That was found on the back of the new Ecco the Dolphin game cover. And from the looks o'things, Big the Cat IS in Sonic Shuffle. This is only the tip of the iceburg that I have for you. More Sonic Shuffle news will come as it follows.

The PAL version of Sonic CD (Mega CD, UK) is up for auction at Yahoo! Here is the link http://page.auctions.yahoo.com/uk/auction/37851001
You heard right! Today was the final day of the auction of the 26 eps of Satam Sonic recorded from ABC. Since I've been trying to bid, this guy paid over $300, which outbid me by $100!!!!! Well, It was a hard struggle, but I guess the one with the most money got it! I hope there's another person out there willing to sell 26 eps of satam Uncut that is
After recent news about SatAM and the fans supporting it, SU.net has declared to take action for the SU fan base who won't let Sonic Underground go down without a fight.
Um,hi,im probably not recognized by many people,anyway,here is some interesting stuff: I Live in Spain,province of Las Palmas,and yesterday,I saw a commercial on Television Autonomica de Canarias (channel 6 in this province)announcing a season of reruns of SatAM,that will start airing on the 28th of August,7:00 AM.I dont have a link source because I havent found out on this on a site,nor does the channel have a homepage. Unfortunately,the channel is only available in this province,and its in Spanish(no problemo for me!).So any Spanish Sonic Fan that lives in this province,keep your eyes peeled for the series,and the commercials... Oddly,the commercial didnt introduce the original SatAM theme,but dont worry,it sure aint Sonic Underground(thank god!).

Sonic der Irre Igel was NOT replaced by Digimon. It's still on RTL 2 at 1:00 pm German Standard Time (Instead of 4:10 pm GST).
In response to the writting to different Networks to get SatAm back on, I think we'll have better luck w/ Disney, since they play the AoSTH series on the Toon Disney Channel.
Even the SatAM- Series was called "Sonic der irre Igel" in Germany. First there were the AoSth Episodes, and then the SatAM Episodes. With the cancellation of "Sonic der irre Igel", the SatAM Series will not be shown.
Back when the GST kicked in, the majority of the country groaned a little, but those wandering outside to go pick themselves up a new Dreamcast were all set to pay $50 less than they previously would have. To help a greater range of people enjoy the wonders of Sega's 128-bit console, Ozisoft have slashed the price of the Dreamcast hardware dramatically to a highly affordable $299. So, finally the good ol' Ozisoft get their tuckus in gear (since the Australian DC has been porr since the launch) but riddle me this, if this is to happen to us Australians, what about the rest of the world? Could this mean Captain Pricedrop is ready to bombard the US and UK in hope to out wit the black doorstop with only 2 controller ports? We Shall see :P
"Sonic der irre Igel" was AoStH, no SatAM...
"Sonic der irre Igel" (German Title) was sadly replaced last monday by "Digimon"
 I went to the site to look at the wallscrolls, and I found a third one. I actually bought this one ^_^
FYI-notie. Sonic Adventure wallscrolls at www.Express.com! There are two types: Sonic and Knuckles, and Sonic and Eggman.

This isn't much of a news report so if Sonic HQ wants to delete this, they can. Anyway, i read that SatAM article below and also know in a few other contries SatAM has been airing or begun to air. With Sonic Underground in the gutter most everywhere, we must ask for SatAM to return now. We shouldn't ask DiC, we should ask Nickeoldeon, Cartoon Network and even Disney to air the series. Here are some of the addresses we can write to, and don't forget BE POLITE IN YOUR LETTERS! Nothing is more powerful then the power of a written out letter (NOT EMAIL) but, no one wants to read some letter from a smart mouth brat saying they're gonna kill DiC. Here we go:
Ken Penders has released the info for his next on-line chat.
... will take place on Wednesday evening, August 23, at 8:00PM Eastern Standard Time. I'll field your questions for at least an hour, and see where we go from there depending on the crowd. You can find me in KenP's Online Chat room, with everything squared away so there's no need to worry about any system failure, thanks to my tech-guru Bob. See you there. There you have it.

Firstly, a BIG thank you to Chuckie Chipmunk, AKA Toni the Mink, for this great piece of news!
This is what she said on the Mobius Forum: That's right, German Sonic fans. Starting in September,the SatAM series will return. The post I found this from was all in German, but I have a (rather lousy) translator. Here's the post in English: "The Sonic SATAm series comes into German remotelongs! For those, which missed it on cable 1: The rather stupid series nevertheless momentary l=Eűf = t rtl II. keep from noble Sonic series of fans; the SATAm series will follow! Presumably at the beginning of Septembers." See the post here (aol/5863:126/alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog:77631) Source: Alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog (aol/5863:126/alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog) Thanks again, Chuckie!
Segaweb had the following to say on the DC mouse:
Following yesterday's coverage of the impending Dreamcast mouse in Japan, I'm happy to report the techno-rodents are spreading to the UK as well. The peripheral will be launching alongside a new keyboard and VMU sometime before year's end. There's no word on the price yet, but when you think about playing Quake III with a controller, does money matter all that much? I didn't think so. So, something to keep an eye on for Dreamcast fans, huh? Credit: SegaWeb News Bytes
SegaWeb had this to say Tuesday.....
Bleemcast now has a firm release date. Look for Sony's nemesis to hit store shelves September 14 along with the Bleempod and Bleempad (the peripherals that allow you to use Sony controllers and memory cards on your Dreamcast. More news for DC fans..... Credit: SegaWeb News Bytes
If you're wondering if the episodes are from ABC or whatever, I wrote to the seller and he said this:
The episodes do have static, but are still very easy to hear and see, there are 2 tapes, no commercials, and were recorded from ABC. Thanks for your interest. There ya have it.
You read that title right, folks! All 26 episodes of SatAM Sonic are currently being sold in E-Bay right now!
Click here to go to it! Be prepared to shell out some dough, as the current minimum bid for this as I type is $31 US, But I think a lot of people are quite willing to pay...
This is just a note of interest. Nothing to do about Sonic, but it does affect him indirectly. Click the link below to read the article:
www.sonicteam.com has just been updated, with an all new PSO Website deticated to it! This new site includes actual art of Characters seen in the game, to the actual storyline! Unfortunately, the Site is only in Japanese. As the English Site is still under construction (Hopefully they're converting all the pages just for us poor english speakers), But if you happen to know where to get a decent Japanese translator, then go wild, and tell the world what the jumbled mess says at the Sonic HQ Mobius Forum
Also in the Sonic team Update, The Yuji Naka Picture page was updated again. This time with pictures inside their Studio and various other places. Noticably a Train with this plastered everywhere:
O_o. Source: The Phantasy Star Home Page at www.sonicteam.com
The UK Publication Computer & Video Games have released 50 brand new screenshots of Sonic Teams Game "Phantasy Star Online" to the public! These shots are absolutely stunning, showing that we can trust the Allmighty Sonic Team with the PS Franchise. source: Computer & Video games Ok, it seems there is a bit of confusion here. Despite the fact that Sonic Team is "seperating" from Sega, they are still PART of Sega. Here it comes straight from the Official Dreamcast Magazine. In a move to make its first-party titles even stronger, Sega of Japan's internal Research and Development teams has been redefined as financially independant, seperate "companies" within Sega, and given a carte blanche to name themselves whatever they want. As you can see, just because they are "seperated" from Sega, they are still loyal to their parent company. Also- it was not Mr. Naka, not Sonic Team, but Sega itself that decided to let the R&D teams become more independant. Yes, there is a small chance these 'companies' might develop for other companies, but that is very slim, especially for Sonic Team. Sonic Team's home, it's parent, is Sega. If they were to stop developing for Sega, yes, that might bring bad news. But they're not stopping. Really, just don't jump to conclusions! These R&D teams are technically still part of Sega itself- there is almost no way they would take major risks in working for other companies. And as for Sonic Team, who SAID that they would stop making Dreamcast Sonic games? It's still the same old Sega, folks, read: They are not leaving Sega!
Thank you Neon Chaos, for pointing out a small mistake I mae. I forgot to give my source. Well, to learn more about the Sonic Team branching away from sega, go to www.segaweb.com/news/0600/067.ht I apologize again for making this small error.
The story down below about the Sonic Team becoming indepent is NOT true. No Sega site on the web has reported any of that information. Also, there is no source in that story to prove that it's true. Will someone at the Staff please go in and delete that post and this one too.
It seems that Yuji Naka and his Sonic Team decided to branch off from Sega and become an independant company. This means that they will be producing software for other systems and platforms other than the Dreamcast. This also means that we may no longer see any more Sonic games after Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Shuffle. A NiGHTS game, like many have been waiting for, may also not be produced for this reason. This also means that the Sonic Team runs the risk of going bankrupt soon, since no company now holds their funding. In a short Editorial, I think Yuji Naka made a small mistake that could lead to big problems. I think he should have never left Sega.
Oh, uhh, hi! If you don't know know me already, my name is Pepperidge. You've probably noticed that for the last 2 months the news on SonicNEXT hasn't been updated. Well, appearently Vec (current webmaster there) is too pre-occupied with hosting and another site to keep up with the news, so that's where I come in!
That's right, you're looking at (well, sort of) the new news reporter for SonicNEXT! Once I get that darn FTP downloaded, I'll bring you the lateset Sonic Team news. Plus I also have a couple more aces up my sleeve, but you'll just have to wait and see! Hope to see you there! It's a beautiful thing, oh yeah!:D
Good evening friends, I hope you had a very good weekend this first weekend in August, but as we return to the daily routine ahead of us this week, here's a little Sonic news to keep you company. Tonight--AJ Freda auctions off another Archie Sonic comic, the SSRG hits a milestone, the Green Hill Zone gets a domain, and a Sonic Fan Games HQ forum moderator is getting tough on discussion about the recent Emulation Zone hack.
Wait, before you get too excited, it's only wallpaper. :) Yes Sonic Team have created a new backdrop for you to use on your Windows or Mac desktop. There was also one released on the 1st of July, but I don't know if that was reported or not. Anyway, you can get them both from this page.
EMULinks will be a large non-profit directory of emulation and gaming-related sites. It will be dynamically-generated, allowing far greater complexity than you could find on a hand-made directory page.
Andy Wolan, owner of emulationzone.org, who hosts sonichq.org and gave us the domain name, has written this press release: As part of our on going commitment to the emulation scene and to video gamers alike, the Emulation Zone is proud to announce EmuLinks.Com . The goal of this new web site is to pick-up where many search engines, like Yahoo, leave off by offering a complete database of links geared toward emulation and video gaming. Since it's coded, owned and operated by us, a non-profit organization, you can be sure that we will strive to offer our viewers an unbiased service they can depend on. What makes our site unique from many "link sites" on the web is that our site is completely automated. This allows us to do things to our database of links unimaginable or too difficult to incorporate on site that are edited by hand, such as real time user feedback. The site is currently in its final beta testing phases, but just about all the bugs have been ironed out. I would like to cordially invite everyone with a related web site to on stop on by and submit a link to your site. Our team of reviewers will go through the link submission and review the sites accordingly. If you don't have a web site, we would like to welcome the public to play around with the site, add links to their favorite related home pages and give feedback on what they think of the place.

From Knux of Australia:
The Big Breakfast, a morning cartoon show in Oz has been canned. As a result, the repeat showing of Sonic Underground has been cut short. The show was part of a reshowing of the most popular cartoon shows voted for. This probably means Sonic Underground including the rumored "Lost episodes" will never be seen again as after Agro's Cartoon connection was cancelled, there was a 3 year gap before a show like it came out. Channel 7 has declined to explain why the show has been axed. |
