Wow! Thanks a million

Anyone else use Firefox? The 3 images on the main page don't show up for me and nothing is clickable (besides the paypal link). Works in IE tho.

Fantastic update - nice one!

rtw, I was thinking...

It's been ages since Toaplan.com was shut down. (yeah I know it can be found via web archive, but still)

Have you ever thought to add a Toaplan section to WoA? I think that would be awesome.

edit: and we have quite some experts on board, too, that could help:

Guess you don't need this from me anymore.
Sorry I'm such a lazy bitch.

No such problems on my Firefox browser.

As usual, RTW, thanks for the update!

Oh, and if you missed it, I have some prelimiary art for Donpachi if you want to include that in a future spiff-up

For rtw,

Is it possible to bring back The Sheep's extensive collection of arcade POPs, instruction strips, etc. of various shmups games like Psyvariar Revision, Radiant Silvergun, Raiden, Raiden II, Raiden DX, the entire SP1 Raiden Fighters series, etc.? When it was still up, it was an invaluable source to print out the necessary missing arcade paperworks to barebone arcade PCBs. Can't say that can be done nowdays, though...oh well.

What a goldmine the old World of Arcade site was...may it rest in peace. ^_~

I have not thought about Toaplan. However if someone can supply me
with a webgrab of the entire Toaplan site I will host it on WOA as a
site frozen in time.

If someone can get in touch with Carl-Henrik Skårstedt (original web
master of toaplan.com) he might have the archive as well.

Please don't give me a link to archive.org. I need the entire site without
any archive.org links. The first one which supplies me with a full archive
will get the coveted link to the WOA R6 archive (680Mb) so they can enjoy
WOA on their own hard disk.

If someone wants to build a Toaplan fan page from scratch I will be more
than willing to host it. Only requirement is that it should look like WOA i.e.
the layout should be mimicked.

I only use Firefox and it works for me from two places and two different OS's

Thank you for the praise and the images ud They might come in handy
at a later stage.

Sorry no, that would require a lot more hosting and planning.

If there is anything in particular you are after let me know and I will
see what I can do.

I'm wondering if there are any Psikyo fans out there ?

I have acquired all the missing artwork for all the Psikyo games
listed on WOA (- pilot kids). However they need to be scanned & cleaned.

In addition I need the following:
. Kit pictures + box
. Screenshots
. Reformat current HTML to the Mushihimesama layout.
. Write intros
. Translations

I don't have the time and energy to do all this on my own.

Just now I am working on Ibara and it's taking its time.
