Sorry for the delayed update. It took a while longer than expected to get my PC sorted out. All should be back to normal now though!

Remember, the GB Collection will be released when the remaining unchecked games have been checked. I hope you're getting as excited as we are! :-)

Remember, we're still accepting splash-screens and icons for GB2 and the one(s) we eventually pick for the front-end will get a free copy of the GB-CD mailed to them as a thank you! The contributions so far can be seen on the artwork page.

  Next Site Update...
10 Oct 00
 

gamebase64.com will be updated next on Thursday 19th October. The update is early this week as I've just bought a new hard drive so I'm doing a complete reinstall this Thursday. It'll probably take a few days to get everything back to normal, so I (James) won't be available for a while.

There will be a Project Status Update with renewed missing, bugged and game lists next Thursday also.
