Relayed through axl z on the message board and the Mega Man Network comes the surprising announcement of a new game: a Battle Network and Star Force crossover titled Rockman.EXE: Operate Shooting Star!

Few details are known for the time being, although we'll probably learn more in the coming weeks and months. Most people, myself included, believed that the Battle Network series was officially ended, but it looks like side-games such as this one might still show up in the future.

It's now time to announce the results of the 2009 main drawing contest!

First of all, thanks for everyone who entered! We received only five entries, although they all deserved to win in some way: there is no half-hearted attempt to be found here!

Without making you wait too long, the end results:
- First place: Ultimate X - "Mia and the Magical Sunflower Meadow"
- Second place: ProtomanEXE - "I fail at deadlines." Which should be called "The board fails at deadlines"!
- Third place: Breakman - "One Reason..."

Congratulations to our three winners! As we've got a tie between the second and third place, the picture that was submitted first was given the advantage. See all of the entries on the results page!

All three of you will be receiving an e-mail from me tonight about claiming your prizes.

Judging was handled by your friendly oekaki board moderating task force: Kia Purity, Rioni Riishu, and myself, Dr. Cossack! You can read our comments alongside each contest entry, which might help you understand how the pictures were rated.

Hopefully, the next contest will see more contestants fighting for the top spot. See you then!

As you can see from the left menu, this website has affiliated with a new partner: MegaManX9.com, administered by Jeff.

The site has been originally created in order to convince Capcom and the fans that a new entry in the Mega Man X series would be popular. The site then evolved from that core idea to cover other Mega Man news and games, to become what it is today. The fans are encouraged to participate in any way they can, so be sure to visit today!

The oekaki contest now underway ends in about one week, at the end of May 31, 2009. There's plenty of time left for you to enter, but please keep in mind the upcoming deadline.

Don't miss your chance to win and get one of the prizes!

It's that time of the year again: the Mega Man PC Website: Dr. Cossack's Lab is now nine years old! The past year has seen the appearance of the oekaki mini-contest formula, and the return of a full-scale oekaki drawing contest after a few years of waiting. Enter this month to win several prizes! In more global news, one major item of the last year has been the surprise announcement and release of the new fan-favorite Mega Man 9. Who knows what Capcom will throw at us this year?

Updates have been a bit slower in the past several months as I've been involved in many things. One of these is a major new project for the site to be unveiled eventually. You'll have to wait until more news are available, though!

As the website approaches it's ninth anniversary, I'm happy to announce something that hasn't been seen for a few years: a full-scale oekaki drawing contest!

Unlike the mini-contest formula that has been used a few times already, this is a much larger event, with nothing held back: judging, larger drawing area, prizes for the top three winners, and more!

A theme has been selected for this latest contest: crossover. This can be taken in any way you can think of, including but not limited to: mixing two Mega Man series together, bringing elements from another game or anime series, taking characters out of context, etc. Obviously, your entry must feature a Mega Man element to be accepted

Prizes are available for the top three winners, based on merit: you'll have to put some efforts to think of something original and draw it as well as you can! The prizes includes the Mega Man Zero Official Complete Works art book, Mega Man PC games, Mega Man Battle Network merchandise, and more. The full list can be checked on this page.

The full details and rules are available from the contest section. As this contest formula is quite different from the mini-contest one, I highly suggest that you read carefully what's in there. The contest will run for an entire month, ending on May 31 at midnight (Eastern Time).

To all those you decide to enter... good luck!

This latest update to the list of PC games adds two new titles to the list: the arcade games Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters! Both games are available on GameTap, as part of their members-only service. They are rendered through emulation (under license and fully legal), accessed directly from your web browser. I tried them personally, and the end result is enjoyable. Please note, however, that this removes the two-player option: you can't be assisted in your fights by a friend!

With the increading size of this page, I've added a quick navigation tool at the top. You can now see a full games list pointing directly to the related information.

Sometime during last weekend, the hit counter reached the 600,000 visitors mark. This might seem impressive... but it's not accurate anymore. The site already passed the million mark quite some time ago!

With the rise of efficient search engines such as Google, more and more people visit a website without ever viewing it's front page. The end effect is that displaying a hit counter on what is meant to be the front page no longer tracks accurately the visitors. I now rely on the server stats a lot more to get the data I want.

As a result of this, I'm now retiring the counter from this page, and this will probably be the last post about it!
