It's been a very busy
period for me, so that explains this late update. Thankfully,
my
holiday has just started and there's time to finish all those
things I left behind.
Almost two weeks ago, Sega online organised a Dreamcast
event here in Holland.
Naturally, I was there and so where a lot of other
Dreamcast/SEGA die-hards
including the people from Dreamcast
Scene. I had a good look at Cool
Herders
(an awesome game, well worth the $20 price) and some excellent
multiplayer
matches of games like F-355, Virtua Tennis &
90 minutes (we all forgot V.S. 2)
I also was lucky enough to be featured at Sega
of Europe's website, in their
SEGA fan gallery. (Look at 'This months winners' -> Ivan)
and received a
SEGA goodie pack. Which is always welcome around these parts,
naturally.
In the mean time, SEGA released another bunch of new games. Sonic
Rush was released for the Nintendo DS and received very
decent reviews.
Shadow the hedgehog -on the other hand- got heartily
slagged off by
most of the press. (Told you so, SEGA). Typical.
Segadatabase.
It's taking quite a while and I'm aware of that,
but I'm working hard to get the first part up before the end
of the year.
Expect a couple of interesting updates in the last couple of
weeks of this year.

Is it Sunday already
again? Sure is. (In fact it already is monday for a lot of
you).
Here's some more stuff to keep you from the streets. First of
all, there's the return of
the obscure SEGA item of the
week (that took a while eh?). Secondly, I did (If I do say
some myself) a rather excellent link-up
feature. Oh and I cleaned up the specials
list
as well. Suh-weet!

Everything
Dreamcast-release related went horribly quiet..untill today!
Coming straight from MileStone

be the month! Review (+media) right here on Segacollection,
naturally.
Dreamcast DOES refuse to die ^_-
A very happy indeed

any sites were updated? Well, feel safe in the knowledge
there's always the weekly Segacollection.com update to look

No more promises on

before Xmas. But the updates will keep coming..naturally.

Another interesting
interview today, an interview
with KinsukeJP, author of some excellent
game lists. I added a new subforum to the Segacollection /
Segadatabase boards, which
is for members only, featuring some exclusive media not to be
missed. New media will be
added every month, so if you haven't already got an account
(free, naturally) make sure
you get one now. Finally, for Dutch SEGA/Dreamcast
fans; make sure you check out
the recently opened Dutch
Dreamcast event page. It's an event organised by Dutch
Sega site Sega Online, which also is well worth a look
and a visit!

Well, no more N-GAGE
reviews for now, but I added another 2 issues of DC UK
to
the overview. Next,
to celebrate the upcoming release of Sonic Rush (which
already gained
two 90% + marks) I've added a whole slew of cool Sonic-X
merchandise to the SHOP!
Another few points of note: This months PC GAMER UK
issue (AOE III cover) comes
with a free Football manager 2006 mousemat, SEGA USA
started a game download
section at their online shop, SEGA USA will also
publish Stuart little big photo adventure 3

from as Rub Rabbits (double huh?), Condemned
for XBOX360 less than two weeks away from its release
and the latest version
of my Dezaemon 2 F.A.Q./Guide will be uploaded to
GameFAQs this week. *phew*
Next update: More magazine issue overviews, another interview
and maybe even more.

The semi final N-GAGE review
(only Super monkey ball left, review probably in a week
or
two, I don't have it in yet) in the form of Puyo

feel like buying the game, why not pop over to the updated Segacollection
shop!
That's it for now, 'till next time!

Like promised, here's the Pocket
Kingdom review, go check it out.
For a new feature I want you guys to MAIL
IN and nominate the most UNFAIR games
you know. Games released by SEGA or released on a SEGA format,
naturally.
Expect some more updates this week, either on Segadatabase
or right here.

I've been busy with Segadatabase
and it's becoming very good indeed. Also, I've
seen the new Wallace and Gromit movie which was brilliant.
Sadly, I also had the
'honour' of playing Virtua Tennis
for the N-GAGE. Which -to put it mildly- isn't
very good. Oh well, back to Pocket Kingdom it is.
(review next week!)

Read the first line of
last update because it fits here as well. But -and that's the
good news-
I got another good update for you guys ('n' girls). I added two
more issue overviews of
DC-UK and I did the first
N-GAGE review (of a total of four, coming one pro week for
the
coming month) of Sonic-N. In other news:
*At the recent 'Preview 2006' show (held last week) SEGA
showcased various new arcade
games. Games like: World Cup championship football, House
of the Dead 4, Disco Dream (!)
and Dinosaurking (a Mushiking spin-off for
European audiences). More info can found HERE.
*Just as I suspected; the two Dreamcast games that popped up
at the release schedule printed
in SEGA press weren't actually supposed to be there.
The latest issue does not feature them.
*I'm working hard to get the first few parts of Segadatabase
back up. Rest assured it's
going to rock even more!
*Some parts of this site that weren't updated for a while will
be soon. Especially most
of the specials. (Obscure SEGA item of the week, Shows
show SEGA etc). As for the
long-time planned SEGA chef specials, there's finally
light at the end of the tunnel!
Till next time,

I was pretty busy the last
two weeks, so that explains the lack of updates.
I added a content overview for the first three issues of DC-UK.
I fixed the
Death Crimson review, and here's the new poll:
Oh and here's the latest; the
monthly Japanese SEGA info leaflet SEGA PRESS comes
with
a rather unusual piece of news. (Thanks, Yakumo) Two
games were placed back onto the Dreamcast release schedule;
one of them being..RING AGE! Does this story never end?
To be honest, this sounds like a cock-up on the part of SEGA
PRESS more than anything
else, but hey, who knows.
P.S. Expect the promised Segadatabase update tomorrow.
I ran out of time, sorry!

Now the Tokyo game show
has ended, there's plenty of great looking SEGA projects to
look forward to. The next-gen Sonic game being one of them. It
also could've been the perfect place for developers (Think; Mile
Stone / G-REV) to announce Dreamcast games. Sadly,
that just
didn't happen. It's been a horribly quiet time for the
Dreamcast fans, with no new games being announced. Time for me
to update the 'Scraping the
barrel' special I wrote a few months back.
Sadly, there's not much news I could find, leaving the
'upcoming DC release' list as empty as ever. Hmm.
Another thing I updated is the Sega
magazine (UK) issue listing. 5 more issues were listed
and the magazine covers were scanned now. (Sadly the mags are
too big to fit on a normal
scanner so there's a small part cut off) More magazines and
issues will probably be listed soon.
For now, enjoy the update and see you next week.

Lik-sang update! Apart
from a
special on the new portable home-made
Dreamcast, Lik-sang has a whole bunch of new cool SEGA toys in
stock! First of all; the
mini SEGA arcade cabinets I raved about for quite a while,
they're quite frankly AWESOME.

^Now in stock at Lik-sang, thanks (more or less) to me.
Secondly, there's these Virtual

^Very detailed & very nice!
And if all of that wasn't
enough already, they also stock the Sega history collection

The amount of cool
undiscovered Saturn imports never fail to surprise me. A few
days back I found that the popular PC game 'Phantasmagoria'
actually was released for the Saturn! Coming
in a BIG box and sporting 8 discs! Guess I'll have to
pick that one up sometime. In the mean
time, I delivered the promised Segadatabase.com update (check
it out if you didn't already),
did another audio track for 'Alice Dreams' and managed to pick
up two Saturn BETA's. SEGA
didn't exactly stop working either, with the recent release of
Virtua Tennis world (PSP) and today's announcement of Virtua
Fighter 5, After Burner (Yeah!), Power Smash 3,
Psy-phi (By
the man Suzuki himself, no less) and House of the
Dead 4. Looks like there's great times ahead!
Onto today's update; I did a magazine overview for Total
Saturn (very obscure 1996/1997 UK mag) and updated
the magazine list with even more info. Expect more updates
either here or on Segadatabase coming weekend. Over and
out.

Well, SEGA announced their
'next big game' called 'Ryo Ga Gotuku' and it seems like a ShenMue
/ GTA cross-over. Bit of downer that it will be
released on the ageing PS2
hardware, but it seems alright. Anyway, to eat away little of
your time, here's both the new
arcade special
(featuring Ghost Squad) and a fixed version of the Family
Feud review.
I'll be updating Segadatabase.com later this week, so see you
there.

AUGUST 4, 2005 |

Here's a couple of things
you might like to hear. First; Sega made a net profit of $95.5
million
in the April-June quarter! Not bad eh? Good sales of games
like Mushi King: Road to
the greatest champion also helped SEGA stocks (which
already risen 27 percent this year)
to rise another 1.1 percent. Great news.
In other news, I updated Segadatabase
again with another 4 profiles, with a total of
52 game profiles now online! Profiles consists of a box scan,
a disc scan, a title
screen screenshot and eight gameplay screenshots! Add tons of
information and
it's your best source online!

for most issues. I also enhanced the magazine

I did the re-did the UMK3
review. Enjoy!

Like promised I did some
more magazine scans. I scanned the covers of Saturn
Power 1-10.
I used digital camera pictures before, because the magazines
(just like 90% of all the other
mags, sadly) won't fit on an A4 scanner. Read the disclaimer
at the bottom of the page and
you'll know what I mean. Also, I fixed two of the older
reviews: Keio 2 and Congo
Bongo,
which are now all nice and readable again. Gun Griffon 2,
UMK3 and Race Drivin' are
the next ones to go under the knife..

I've been busy with Segadatabase
lately, as I'm trying to get as much stuff up before the end
of the year. Current target: 250 profiles. Which is tough,
because I'm still the only one
doing screencaps and box scans. If you got the material to do
either, why not join
me?
I haven't got much on the updates part for this moment, but a

Apologies for the harsh
update yesterday, but I became more than a little pissed off
at the
general selection of people who think they can steal whatever
they want and get away with it.
Anyway, I've got a GREAT update today, as the promised link-up
specials on Daytona CCE
and
Hexen are done.
Oh, and I updated the DOOM
one as well. Look forward to more link-up info in
the future, as there's a general lack of info to be found on
the 'net. Over and out.

Just a small update for
all the ***holes that have been stealing media (and removed MY

I planned on doing another
update last week, but that fell through because of several
other projects and the intense heat. Don't worry,though, the
best is yet to come. Another
special on link-up gaming is finally ready and will be
uploaded this week. The last one
(featuring DOOM) was pretty popular and I daresay the likes of
HEXEN and Daytona
will be as well. For today, check out the poll

I was on holiday for the
last week, so that left this site in state of non-update.
Normal service now resumes with a new review: Assault
Rigs (Saturn JAP).
Sega updated its Dreamcast release schedule again with the sad
news that all
upcoming releases were scrapped. D'oh! That basicly
means that the release
of Ring Age is now in severe doubt. I would've gone as
far as to forget about
it altogether, but as the game still isn't confirmed to be
cancelled I wont..yet.
On the other side there's G-rev's latest shooter 'Under
Defeat' which looks
seriously cool, and would make an awesome Dreamcast release.
Here's hoping.
One of the Dreamcast homebrews I've been involved with: 'Joggle'
is about
to go public again, but in greatly improved shape. Look out
for a new demo
somewhere this month. As far as other updates go, look forward
to more than
enough great ones coming right up.

Ahh.. ain't life great

extremely excited when all the early
bits were mine for the viewing! And because I am such a nice
person (no really) , I am
willing to share it with you as well, in the form of a nice special!
Just 16 screens now,
but I'll re-do some of them and add some new ones as well
later. Just enjoy these

The magazine

themselves, which makes for a better view. Each review score

Sega Magazine (UK) is

MAY 26, 2005 |

As I just visited
Dreamcast-Scene (And so should you every now and then) I came
across
some words on Dreamcast by former Sega C.E.O Peter Moore..and
boy does he talk a load of
b*******. Thanks to Game
Daily Biz and ,like said, Dreamcast
Scene for this exerpt, on which I
just couldn't resist to comment, such is its inaccuracy on the
part of Peter Moore;
BIZ: Some have drawn comparisons to the
Dreamcast launch for the Xbox 360. Obviously with your
experience at Sega and working with the Dreamcast, you would
know better than anyone, so what are your thoughts?
PM: He who has not learned from history
is doomed to repeat it. But boy do you learn. Here's the key.
160 games in development right now for Xbox 360. I don't think
I ever had a time at Sega where I could see more than 25 games
in development.[Oh and what about the
time before the DC launch? - S.F] I now have in my role
as head of both first- and third-party have visibility well
into 2007 and in some instances games that are just getting
going in the concept stage for 2008. What happened with the
Dreamcast was we shipped Crazy Taxi—that was it! [Are
you 'crazy'? You may want to check that for accuracy
- S.F] Think of the
juxtaposition here; EA never developed a single game for
Dreamcast. Don Mattrick would still be there [at the press
conference] now showing stuff he's working on for the 360 if I
didn't have to get off the stage eventually. We had not had
any real first-party power behind the Dreamcast. We had Sonic,
Virtua Fighter, Phantasy Star Online; we certainly didn't have
Halo, Fable, Jade Empire, Forza Motorsport, Project Gotham
Racing [Which is just MSR+ - S.F] and
so on and so forth—umm [Gotta think
hard here eh? - S.F], Conker, Perfect Dark Zero. We
were trying to penetrate a market that was growing with
Western power (North America & Europe) with Japanese
content, and you get Dreamcast if you try to do that. [?
Umm yeah okay. It was SEGA's rubbish marketing that made the
DC fail actually -S.F]
BIZ: To this day, the Dreamcast remains one of, if not
the most treasured console, for many gamers.
PM: I've never met anybody that ever regretted
buying a Dreamcast... We sold 4.1 million units here in the
U.S. [Typical now the press' praise part
comes up he starts defending the DC - S.F] before
closing the business... but we just didn't have anything to
carry us through to 2000 [2000? You mean
2002. 2000 was an excellent year release-wise for the DC,
please think about what you you're saying before you do - S.F]
and it was unfortunate. And I also learned the tactical power
of what's Sony approach would be at that time as well, and
we're well aware of that. So we're battle hardened and ready
to go.
BIZ: It's almost as if the Xbox and Xbox 360 are
like spiritual successors to the Dreamcast, and I guess your
involvement with Microsoft has something to do with that.
PM: When the Xbox launched I said, "I feel like
the Dreamcast is passing the baton to the Xbox" because
of the dream of online play and bringing people together
(because the Dreamcast was the first online console) [A
man who worked for SEGA who doesn't know the Saturn had online
play as well *sigh* - S.F] and the words I said, and
this was May 2001, were, "Do I think that Microsoft can
drive online as a huge advantage and be a differentiator in
the next generation and be successful? You bet your ass I
do." Those were my exact words... Some people look at the
Dreamcast and then the color of that [points to 360 on
display] and say "right." [Shame
you didn't do the same for the DC - make it successful - S.F]
(...)
So that's three questions
about the Dreamcast and he manages to get all three messed up.
Good job there, Peter. Hmpf.
Anyway, I'll be back later today with the obscure SEGA object
of the week..

With the E3 now gone, it's
only natural to run a poll about it, don't you think?
-poll ended-
SeGaFrEaK |

MAY 19, 2005 |

About time? Yeah, I know.
I was busy with far too many other things
to free some time to do an update. The E3 is running and SEGA
just
announced their line-up. (expect pics of the SEGA stand in a
couple of
days), Sony showcased their PS3, together with the most
ridiculous
controller I've seen for a long time.. yep they've done it
again..

^There's only one real chiquita banana.
Jokes aside, here's the new obscure
SEGA item of the week.
Oh and check Segadatabase.com
in a few hours for another update!

MAY 8, 2005 |

Well, no obscure SEGA for
this week, but I do have some other things.
First, the demo versions of two excellent Dreamcast homebrews
were
released yesterday; Joggle
and Alice
Dreams. Both very good pieces
of software well worth checking out. Oh and incidentally I did
some
BGM for both of them. Aaand you might as well check Segadatabase
because I updated it yesterday and it's coming along quite
nicely.
But what about the 'mystuff'
section of this site? That hasn't been
updated for aaaaaaaages. Yes, very right and that's why I
decided
to update it a little. It ain't complete, but a lot more so.
Finally,
check out this Japanese
website, which has some excellent new
pictures of those super cool Sega arcade toys! Gotta have
them!

I really don't like
the fact that it took such a while (slow shipping was the
thing that caused
the delay) for the Trizeal review, but here
it is. I didn't bother doing footage this time, because
a gameplay movie featuring most stages is available on the Triangle
service website anyway. Now it's only waiting for the
next Dreamcast game to be announced..
SeGaFrEaK |
|
APRIL 27, 2005 |
|
Hmm, my copy of Trizeal
only came in yesterday so expect a review of it this
weekend.
What I do have ready at the moment are: the new
obscure SEGA item of the week
and the poll results
for polls 8,9 & 10. I've got plenty of other stuff coming
up so
keep an eye on this site for the rest of this month. Hits are
definitely picking up,
(yeah!) and the DOOM link up feature was partly
responsible for that.
Because link-up gaming info is so obscure and I'm a link-up
fetishist at

Because I feel like it, here's a
nice big piece of text, for that 'personal' feeling.
First, there's the
promised interview, and what a goodie it is! I
interviewed
Roel van Mastbergen from Senile Team
(them of Beats of rage fame) and
asked about such things as Age of the Beast. Go
read it, like, now.
Next, I did the new obscure
SEGA item of the week. Which is
a pretty popular feature and maybe rightly so. Anyway,
I've
got A LOT of cool things coming up, they involve link
up gaming,
unreleased games, specials and maybe even a partnership!
Finally, for the ones waiting for a Trizeal review,
it's coming
end of this week. Sadly, it took a while..slow
shipping et all.

things lately. I've been converting the Alex kidd

upcoming
Dreamcast 'Joggle' game, doing F.A.Q.'s, bidding on
Saturn samplers,
selling stuff on Ebay, doing Dreamcast scans, doing
Dreamcast
screenshots, bothering people for interviews,scanning
SEGA manuals,
shipping stuff...and updating this site as well. But
now Im done.

Do you remember the SEGA happy
meal special we did back in May or so? You probably
do.
Now, some news filtered through in August that NEW
toys arrived with Happy meals™ in
Brazil. Well, apparently (thanks to Sega
Xtreme for the news) it's already time for another
SEGA happy meal! This time, the toys from Brazil (and
Asia, I must add) are going to be packed
with American
happy meals STARTING TODAY. Quite shocking
really, as the period between
the first and second (1994 and 2003
respectively) was nine years! Could we be looking at
some sort of a partnership between the software and
fastfood giants? Who knows.
Rest assured that if these toys reach Dutch shores (Probably
around May 2005) I'll go
out and do another zany special. Huzzah!
Onto another point and that's the
upcoming release of Chaos Field.
The game is about a week away from it's release (yah!)
and you bet it will be reviewed
before crimbo.
The joy of stats. Named after an old Saturn
power feature, here's some interesting stats.
Apart from the usual unreconizable .net and .com
accounts, most of the visitors of this site
come from: The Netherlands. No surprise there
(being a regular in the Dutch SEGA scene),
but let me give you an idea of the other positions.
People out of:
*Germany - 3%
*Belgium (!): 3%
*United Kingdom: 3%
*Brazil: 2%
*Australia: 2%
*Canada: 2%
Others are mostly Japan, Portugal, France, Sweden
& Peru(double !!)
And the rest? Italy, Poland, Spain, Mexico, Finland,
Taiwan, New Zealand, Denmark,
Turkey, Greece, Russia (!), Thailand (!) and Saudi
Arabia (!!)
Other points of note are the very popular items:
Baldr Force Exe review (Bless 'em!)
The Sega-CD Database (!), The PAL Saturn database, The
downloads section (hmpf)
and the mystuff part. (I really should update
that). Oh and the Clockwork knight:
Pengin war alpha movies sure went down well..
BTW The 60k hits line was almost reached
again..nice.
Sorry, but I just can't seem to
stop typing up interesting facts in these cold
days.
(Well over here, anyway). You remember that little
company called SEGA
EUROPE?
Oh yes you do.. now it's hard for me to talk about
them without becoming nasty but..they're
doing rather fine actually..
You see..the SPORTS
INTERACTIVE division of it has done something that
really is worth
some praise: they outsold (and still do actually) Half
Life 2 with their recent Football Manager
2005! (How about a copy guys?). Even Dutch
football magazine 'Voetbal
international'
has done
a promotion with it...printed ads even..wouldn't
have predicted that to be honest.
The recent sales mark of Sonic Heroes on PS2
(>1.000.000 copies sold) and the pretty good
chart placing of Outrun 2 sure are impressive for a
company that hasn't really done much
in the charts since Virtua tennis!
Well..that's the news for
now..expect an update for MYSTUFF and
a new poll this Sunday..and keep an eye out for SEGA's
upcoming GHOST SQUAD and
MUSHI king arcade games in Europe! (Info HERE)
over and out

It was a very hard decision to
make, but after thinking about it once more, this is
final;
We're moving. That's right, moving. But, not in total.
Let me give you an idea of what to expect. As of 11
November 2004, Segacollection.com will no longer sport
the game & hardware
databases. These databases will be totally redone
on a new site, with a new design and
a total amount of multimedia coverage that will blow
you away. We're talking 2500+ games,
4+ screens pro game, box scans, cart scans, cd scans
and user reviews that can be added online.
Now, there's loads of databases around these days, but
honestly, how much info and
media do they actually got? Zero to nothing. Well, a
game covered in this database will be
more than a name entered once and then forgot about.
At this very moment THIS site
already contains over 1500 screenshots, tons of
boxscans and info, so you betcha it will be off to a
good start. That said, the quality of both the
screenshots and boxshots will improve greatly.
I am aiming at the goal of the ultimate online
SEGA database here, and nothing less.
'But what will become of this site?'
Well, apart from the Game and Hardware databases, this
site will remain the SAME. (For now)
That means specials/reviews (ALL UPCOMING DREAMCAST
RELEASES COVERED - FULL MEDIA STYLE!!) and everything
else that you've seen updated in the past months.
Look at it this way: You're looking for a real fansite
with interesting specials, collector profiles,reviews
and lots of other SEGA goodies? -> Segacollection.com
Looking for the ultimate SEGA game/Hardware database?
-> SEGADATABASE
Now, while I could keep doing this all by myself (Hey
I've been doing pretty much everything myself, for the past 5 years) I'm looking for enthousiastic people,
interested in helping by
taking screenshots, doing boxscans and adding game profiles.
And if you're a real web-design god, I could also
be interested in your services. 'Yeah and
what's in it for me?' I hear you say..
Well..DROP ME A
LINE and we will work something out.
Be a part of history (etc.)

*5 new reviews; 1 DC (apart from that one above) 1 SAT,
1MD, 1MCD & 1 GG
*New hardware pics: Gamegear, Saturn, Mega-CD/Sega-CD.
*Hardware specs and
console pics: Sega Pico *More SEGA magazine issue
overviews (Sega Magazine, Sega power, SSM etc) *Xmas
compo. *More unreleased games unveiled! *Sega Show
overview.
(E3, Toyko Game show etc) *Over 250 new screenshots (SAT,
SMS, DC etc)
*Better site design.
Well, I think you'll have to agree that
can't be beaten!
In the mean time -which means today- I updated the
pics on the game database select,
filled the archive (the news was going back untill
October 2003 on this front page!)
and made some general fixes here and there.
If you're bored, go check out the cool homebrew Alice
Dreams,
which I did some stuff for. (i.e. Dutch translation
and maybe even some BGM)
Oh and there's one more thing I'd like to bring your
attention to:

That's right the past month this site raked up nearly
70k hits! Pretty shocking really.
If this keeps up and grows to, say, 85k a month, you'd
be looking a website with
1.000.000 hits pro year. I'd sure like that. And
what's more, Im still pretty proud to
keep this site running without such crap as pop-ups
and tonnes of banners, fileplanet
downloads and dodgy overlords. The only thing I'm
missing now is some FEEDBACK.
That's right, send
me some. If you're looking for coverage on
anything that has SEGA
on it, why not let me know?
P.S I put some Game
Gear stuff on Ebay, you might want to take a look.
P.P.S Sorry about the lame Annie joke below..I
was drunk at that moment.
(Actually, I wasn't.. oh dear)
Over and out.

Another awesome download added:
Phantasy star IV commercial (JAP)
Can be found in the downloads
section.
Its kinda large and eats up server space, so if you want it,
support us as well..
Be sure to read the txt that comes with it also.
BTW If everybody just downloads and doesnt show support, the
downloads section
will be the first one to be removed. Sounds harsh, but im a
bit tired of
paying Web server/domain bills (€210 a year anyone?) and
receiving (near) zilch in support back.
(even emails will do)

Well folks, this is it. I have
some good and some sad news to announce.
First, yesterday I received an email from the Consumer
Software
Development section from S.O.J
Basicly, they invited me for a meeting, April 5, in
London. (which is indeed
home of the department of S.O.E)
They offered me a 12 hour/week contract, which frankly
isn't much
buy hey, that truely kicks ass!
For the sad part, ill no longer be able to update this
website on a regular base.
Ill look into a new webmaster (mail
me if you think you have what it takes)
BTW Unfortunately, this 'killed' the planned update
yesterday, but you can guess
there was some heavy celebrating going on here!
I wish to thank you all, ill add my new contact
information &
final update tomorrow.

Normally I wouldn't think about
updating twice a day but this is a special case.
I mailed GoodDealGames.com for some screens of their
projects (To be exact: their Mega/SegaCD games), and
along with a very swift reply came some excellent
screenshots for the database!
Stuff like this (companies that actually care about
the products they've created and the people that play
them) makes me very happy indeed.
Well, it would be a natural thing to do really, so
head to:

and check out their projects!
They've just released a new edition of their Mega/SegaCD
project:
Bug Blasters - The Exterminators too!
And yes, the screenshots can now be viewed in the
database.
(Have to check about the Citizen_X PAL release)
BTW Ill look into a GoodDealGames interview, with some
questions
about their upcoming projects for SEGA consoles.
Who knows.. ^_^

To start todays update; I made a
mistake when viewing
the stats last time. Because of checking the site for
errors after updating,
I generate traffic myself. I forget about that, so the
hits pro day are more in the region
of 400-500 a day. Still, thats more than 10.000 pro
month :)
I fixed some more missing stuff
and added a new review:
KEIO'S FLYING SQUADRON 2

Yesterday I checked the stats of
this same page in front of you. I was surprised
(Well..shocked) that on some days this page gets
around 1000 hits!
While this may seem 'average', that same amount was
the traffic
it was getting in the first two years of its existance
in total!
Also, traffic is generated from lots of countries
including Japan, Australia,
Sweden, US, Taiwan etc! Of course this makes my very
happy and gives me
just the kick to keep updating and making this site
even better!
To give credit where it is due, Id like to thank and
say 'Hi!' to these people;
Kuffi,Matt C, Sen, AdviseORe @ Sega
Reform, David C @ Saturn Museum,
The people at Segaforum.nl, Maxim & Bock @
SMSpower, Stratingguys,
Judge Dread @ GameGear.nl , Steve Snake @ KEGA,
Quinntesson @ AGES & everybody who supported me in
the past!
Cheers all!
On the updates part; Ive fixed
some brokes images, added missing html etc.
Its still not done in some places, but im working on
it :)
