NUON enthusiast V-SNES is back with his latest deep-dive into NUON history, this time focused on Troma Entertainment’s short-lived relationship with VM Labs and NUON. Troma is best known for such films as The Toxic Avenger, The Class of Nuke ‘Em High, Mother’s Day and Tromeo and Juliet, and had planned to use NUON technology to add special features to their Toxic Avenger movies and cartoons.

As you may have noticed, the link to the forums in the top navigation is broken. The forums are still there, I’ve just been too lazy to update the links in the site template.
So, in the meantime, here’s the updated link:
UPDATE: Forum link in the site navigation is working again. Chat away!
Just a quick heads-up in case you haven’t visited the forums in a while — we’ve recently given them a face-lift to match the rest of the site. Gone is the old thehelper.net look which, while functional, really didn’t mesh with N-D.
So, thanks to the help of Ghan_04 and The Helper, the forums are looking much better. Stop in, check it out and say hi!
So, I’ve finally gotten around to fixing/adding/upgrading a number of things that I’ve been meaning to for the past few months (*cough*years*cough*). Admittedly, the site had slipped into a bit of stagnation there for a while but with great power comes great responsibility so I’m back at it.
The first big update was adding a new content management system which will allow for a number of new and much needed features:
- RSS Feed: Keep abreast of the latest NUON news from the comfort of your favorite news aggregator. (The new orange icon on the right is a link to it as well.)
- Individual Pages for News: For easy linking, blogging and future reference.
- Comments: Give your direct feedback to news posts (go ahead, give it a shot).
- Archiving: More and better ways to find past news posts.
Other improvements include:
- Google Custom Search: Gone is that old, archaic search engine. Now we have Google search directly integrated into the site.
- Digg It: Show your support for NUON and for this site by “digging” news that you think is cool. It’s as easy as hitting the “Digg It” button on the right of any news update. Spread the word!
- Various Tweaks: Fixed up any broken links and updated graphics here and there
What this all means is a better experience for you, the reader. So thanks for all your support over the years and I hope you enjoy these new additions. Feel free to leave any suggestions in the comments section below.
