It is with great sadness I share with all of you that Mike “Lord Nepenthean” Collins' life was tragically cut short. Mike was one of the founding members of RF Generation and also its webmaster.

Following is a quote from Mike posted on the staff page:

“This web site is my baby, and the fact that I can combine it with video games is truly a (small) dream come true.”

All staff members, including myself, will continue to work on this site as we always have. We think keeping this site active is one of the best tributes we can do for Mike.

With everyone's help, we will adopt the baby he left behind and help his dream flourish.

Maybe his Mom checking the site or possibly Eddie (storm) using his profile?

I saw Mike's user profile online this morning. I allready had known about the tragedy however  Cry




May he rest in peace.

My condolences to his close "real life" friends and family as well. As it has been suggested in another discussion. This web site was Mike's "baby" I say we adopt.........

Such a young bright individual with so much to offer. I knew Mike only through this site and many conversations about it, but he will be missed by me.

I know this wont help now, but know this..... Time can and does heal, but never forget!

I wont forget you Mike.

 Cry i hate to see/read things like this. He did excellent work to this site, with help of others of course. i did not know him personally, but i'm sure he was an outstanding human being and forever will be missed by his family and friends. as this site grows and grows into something special, it will be done in your honer. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us..RIP Lord Nep, you'll be missed......and like Cap'n N said, "always remembered."

My God....I have no idea what to say.  Mike was certainly one of my favorites in the gaming community.  He will surely be missed.  I'll say a prayer for him at Mass tomorrow.

Damn this sucks....I will help anyone and everyone in the best of my abilities (which ain't much) to help with this site in Mike's memory...just ask and I'll do my best.

Thank you very much. The best thing you can do it continue to add info/scans, point out errors in the database and keeping posting about missing games.
