2002/12/21  Just a few words from your fellow webmaster
These days are hard times for RPG-O-Mania. It's suffering a lot from the fact that less and less people are visiting this page.
Yet I will update it, even if no one ever cares about that page anymore.

Okay, I confess the situation is also my fault. I didn't really promote the page in the last months, and the updates weren't too frequent either.

Yet it's not as if I just slept, I am thinking and working on a new version of this website. Not just the usual optical change you know since Version 1, I have to redo the page completely. The optical changes won't be too drastic this time (yet I can't just make something new with the old look, thats not my style :-)), but the technical basis changes completely. Since I don't know the foggiest about PHP, I still fear the work coming to me by getting into it...

Anyway, the page will raise again, that for sure.

2002/11/12  Weretiger
Due to a request, I added a image of the Breath of Fire 3 weretiger. Thought I had it somewhere on this page, but... hm, strange. Anyway, it's online now.

2002/11/09  Just a small change
I got a mail of the midi composer Shawn Tonkin today that some midis I declared as "by Shawn Tonkin" aren't his ones. Hence I changed that. I have to say again that this page is not dead, I've just got so much work to do in my job...

2002/09/15  new Midi section
Here it is, the all-new Midi section, with a new look and feel. I selected 31 Midis and added them to a "top-notch midi site" so that you can download the best there. There is a little Problem with the classic Midi Pages yet, not all of them look blue/gray, but I am working on it!

2002/09/12  Small Update, 150.000
I added some Breath of Fire fanpics made by me. I also wanted to thank you all for visiting this page since the Counter reached 150.000 this week! It's really great that this page is so well accepted! I am still working on the music section, I hope I can at least update the changes soon.

2002/09/06  New Music Section

2002/08/22  All new galleries
In this update, I re-did EVERY image gallery. So they all look quite the same now, they load faster and almost all of them are categorized now!

By the way, the pictures count without Phantasy Star 4 images is now 487 images!!

2002/08/17  Final Fantasy Gallery
It took quite a long time, before "the" RPG Series got its own Pictures Gallery here at RPG-O-Mania. But now, the Gallery has opened!
-Doc Ower

2002/08/11  This and that
Like I wrote two days before, dismantling of the misc gallery is currently my main work on this site. But I also change and unify the look of the other galleries, like the Breath of Fire, Climax Landers and Secret of Mana galleries.
-Doc Ower

2002/08/09  Terranigma images, dismantling
Okay, here they are, new black and white Terranigma images out of a japanese Guidebook. Although they're just Black and white, they have quite some style. I like them! On another note: Since there are already almost 190 images in the miscellaneous gallery, I decided to dismantle it and re-sort the images there. So don't be surprised if the gallery isn't complete anymore. Just are a bit patient!
-Doc Ower

2002/08/06  Final Fantasy images
As promised, the first three of a set of good images I've found recently. These ones are from Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IV. Terranigma images coming soon.

2002/06/22  Suikoden 108 Star List
As you know, the Suikoden 108 Star Character List missed a lot of character portraits (over 70!), and today I added all the missing ones. Soon I will add further informations there and link the portraits up with big images.
-Doc Ower

2002/06/20  Pictures update
I added some of my own Fanart of Phantasy Star 4 this time.
-Doc Ower

2002/06/15  Project Phantasy Star 4
Thought I left the page again? Nooo, not again. I prepared myself and the site for a big project, Project Phantasy Star. As you know, This was the first site ever which offered all the cutscene images from Phantasy Star 4. They are great indeed, but they're often just a small cut out and suffer from a low resolution. So I wanted to ask all the Phantasy Star liking Manga Artists out there if they could help me with redoing these images. Click the headline to get more details.

2002/06/07  Shining Force CD Avatars

2002/06/02  Useless update?
Something quite special this time. As some of you may know, I tried to start a Seiken Densetsu 3 page last year after I gave up this page. I still have some fragments of that page here, so I updated something for all SD3 Fans. The text that appears during the intro in five languages. Woo hoo ;)
-Doc Ower

2002/06/01  RPG-O-Maniology
After the restart, I thought a little reminiscence wouldn't do bad. So I wrote the RPG-O-Maniology, a history about the RPG-O-Mania from the Beginnings in 1998 up to now. I hope you have at least a little fun while reading these pages :)

-Doc Ower

2002/05/30  Back... completely
I hope you weren't too suprised about the sudden dissapearance of the R.7 RPG-O-Mania, but I wasn't satisfied about the zero-layout-site with little content. So I decided to re-work the last complete Version of RPG-O-Mania, as it was online.

I will add the stuff that was on the R.7 RPG-O-Mania soon!
