Major Overhaul to Zeroids Section  2 Jun 01
Its unofficially the start of the summer season and to celebrate we are revising the Zeroids section of the site.  The main page now has picture links instead of the old text, and we have done away with the traditional gray for something a little sleeker looking.  So far we have added about half a dozen pages with all new pictures of Zerak, Zogg, Zobor and the elusive Zemo (including Zemo in an imported Solar Cycle box).  Work is ongoing and not all the links work yet but its really shaping up.  Take a look and let us know what you think.  Use the Icon or take this link:  Zeroids at Games and Beyond

2GFX Announcement: Doc Oct for Captain Action and MORE!  22 May 01
I am sure you all know Custom Captain Action mask makers extrordinaire 2GFX and their already amazing array of brilliant creations that we are lucky enough to feature here at Games.  (just as a reminder take a quick peek at this link: 2GFX).  As if there line up wasn't cool enough already, they have just released the following announcement:

Here is a first public peek at a personal project, Doc Oct.  The challenge for me with this one was
to change the look of Dr. Evil's body to be anything but the classic hero type.  Overall, I'm quite pleased.  The extra arms key into a body harness that has the classic Doc Oct look.  Also in the pic are the Doc's
accessories, a Radiation Condensing Tower and a Radioactive Isotope Vessel. Hope you enjoy. 

Also I've got a 2-peice Iron-Man planned based on the same technology (as Doc Doom ) which should be cool.  I'm also doing an Action Boy Speed Racer based on the cancelled PM one.  That should be ready in a few weeks.

Doctor Octopus, Arch nemises of Spider-Man as introduced way back in 1963, in  "The Amazing Spider-Man" #3.  As promised here is a photo of the Doctor Octopus work in progress:
