THANKS TO

Here's where I send out my thanks to everyone who's helped, in one way or another, to make the OPCFG what it is today. Or, to quote Metallica - "Massive appreciation to the following exalted members of the human race:"

MIKE, aka SOTENGA - The new host of the OPCFG, Mike has my eternal thanks for taking over when I could no longer run the site and keeping it alive!

KURT KALATA - The mastermind behind The Castlevania Dungeon, The Contra HQ, and Hardcore Gaming 101. Without him, this site wouldn't even exist - it would be nothing more than an idea floating around in my head. Many, many thanks!!!

LEN CLARK - My old childhood friend, co-collaborator on West Mansion, and webmaster of RMbLC! I played the NES (and Ghosts 'N Goblins) for the very first time at his house! Thanks, Len!

THE VIDEO GAME MUSEUM - For letting me use many of the pics in some of the articles

MIKE BOYAJIAN - The man who designed our logo, title page, and the OPCFG Award. The page wouldn't look half as good without him!

JASON MANTHEY - Another old friend and classic game lover. Jason can always be counted on for advice and help with the site.

ANDRE ARIAS - An old friend, Street Fighter and Super Mario fan, Andre's been a source of (mostly unintentional) hilarity over the years, and has helped out with the OPCFG quite a bit. "Bitch - I own you!!!"

MALCOLM LAURIE - The man behind SHMUPS! What a great site! I don't know what we'd do without him.

ROBIN "RZM" MILLER - The creator of River City High School Class Reunion, a fantastic Kunio site!

SCION - The mysterious Scion, creator of the Light Sword Cypher Mainframe, one of the best Strider sites I've ever seen!

JOHNNY UNDAUNTED - Webmaster of The Nekketsu Typhoon, and a real big help with the site, especially when dealing with Japanese and translations from Japanese. Thanks!

KONAMI OF JAPAN - For making some of the most kickass games in existence!

Last, but by no means whatsoever least -

Inspired by the band NOFX's no thanks section in the album Heavy Petting Zoo, here's where we give out the OPCFG's...

NO THANKS TO

MTV - What a joke. They should change their name to "Boy, Do We Suck" (and they've gotten worse ever since I wrote this originally).

TEENPOP "MUSIC" - Has it gone yet? No, unfortunately. Yeah, I know it's for 10 year old girls, but those of us out in the real world still have to be subjected to it. Thank god I don't watch MTV. They still find ways to annoy you, though... you start seeing Britney Spears hawking Pepsi at the beginning of EVERY SINGLE MOVIE YOU GO TO SEE, among other things. Then you start to want this crap gone... BAD.

BARNEY, THE BIG STUPID PURPLE POLYESTER DINOSAUR - He is the ANTICHRIST! BARNEY MUST DIE!!! (read the poem on zero signal)

SUPERMARKET TABLOIDS - They just suck.
