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!

Don't miss your chance to win and get one of the prizes!
Ninth anniversary!
Site news, by Dr. Cossack on 6 May 2009 at 22:11
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!
Oekaki main contest for 2009 started!
Site news, by Dr. Cossack on 1 May 2009 at 0:34
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!
