Herein lies all the MSH (Classic or Saga) RPG game links I am currently aware of. I have gone through my vast list of links and made sure all of them are current, as many gaming sites have passed away since I last updated this list (particularly those hosted on AOL servers... whooops). I used to rate these by how 'useful' they were, but with the vast majority of these going 'dead' these days, a change was necessary.
Instead of sorting sites by how new they are or how 'important' they may be, I now simply note them in categories of how often they update. These are pretty self-explanatory, and the ones in the top category are the ones I tend to use myself; the rest are still alive but seem to be either treading water or simply holding on for dear life (until, say, Geocities goes under). Of course, I could be wrong.
If I have inappropriately 'rated' a site you manage, feel free to let me know and I'll change it. If you have a Marvel RPG site you'd like me to link to, I'll add it. I'm always happy to give people that care 'air time', particularly if they're doing something unique for the gaming community. After all, we all want in on your action too. But without further ado, here's the remaining Atomic Links (as of 11.8.8):
Classic Marvel: an almost-complete MSH RPG resource, in its own words, this excellent site has a plethora of gaming material for your Classic Marvel pleasure. It wields a bevy of character profiles, custom rules, an extensive MSH message board, MSH links (including me!), and more stuff than you can shake a stick at. It's got an updated design, too - I like. Update Frequency: very often.
The Classic Marvel Super Heroes RPG Page is a site built by Ty R. States, all-around good guy and, as of this writing, the author of more MSH RPG stats than you can shake a really, really big stick at. He adds new game rules, stats, and suggestions almost daily, from not only the Marvel Universe but from all over the place. Enjoy the fresh goods, already! Update Frequency: occasionally.
Heroplay, founded by Zan, is a site that has placed various tomes from the Classic MSH RPG up on display, in a handy .pdf format. Sure, the text has some odd bugs and such, but if caught in a pinch, this is quite a useful reference. The man also has several other keen MSH accessories, so drop by and pick 'em up if you need 'em still! Update Frequency: occasionally.
the MSHAG Library: built by Andrew Essary, the MSHAG Library hosts a bunch of material for - you guessed it - the MSHAG. It hosts articles on making a better hero, various character descriptions, handbook downloads, and more. Need something new? Head here - this fellow updates a lot more frequently than I. Update Frequency: very often.
Midwest Avengers Campaign Information: as you can guess from the title, this is a page devoted to the Midwest Avengers, a game run by the one'n only Keith Kilburn.

Update Frequency: often.
Marvel Super Heroes @ ezboard.com: this is a handy discussion board that covers all things Marvel. The conversation here is usually rather lively, and every time I hit this site there's new things being discussed, or additions to older conversations. I recommend you check the place out if you feel like chatting about the MSH RPG. Update Frequency: infrequent.
Norseman Central, maintained by Rich Riedl, has some home made MSH RPG characters handy, submitted by lots of folks from their own campaigns. He has both individuals and groups handy, and some interesting naval rules. Not to mention lots of nifty MSH RPG software - and how often do folks make that for your gaming use? Head there now, already! Update Frequency: very infrequent.
RPGamer's Station is a site that has some stuff for the MSH RPG, and some stuff for AD+D.

Oh, and don't forget the super hero name generator, already! Update Frequency: infrequent.
4 Freedoms Plaza is a massive archive of Fantastic Four information. It has info on FF toys, cartoons, comics, and of course, MSH RPG game data on the team. If you're needing any of that (including schematics of Four Freedoms Plaza), this is definitely the place for you. It's not updated much these days but is definitely a good F4 reference. Update Frequency: nil.
Ben Reilly's Marvel RPG Page, if you hadn't guessed, is a web site dedicated to the Marvel Super Heroes Role Playing Game. The man has stats for most of your standard Marvel Heroes, some creepy villains, standard super heroic gear, and he's even got a whole bunch of source books available for use in your MSH (Classic) games. Update Frequency: nil.

The Hobgoblin's Realm of Magnificent Marvel Mayhem and Madness is another site that you can go to for statistics on Marvel Comics and/or Image characters.

Home of the Fuzzy Blue Elf! This Saga site holds information for the man's favorite characters, like Nightcrawler and Doom 2099, and lots of game aides. For instance, he has a Saga powers index, several conversion tables, character sheets, and most importantly, he's the author of the Marvel Character Program. Update Frequency: nil.
The Marvel Archive is a site that archived various character write-ups that were posted to the Mighty Marvel Mailing List. The man added everyone in while the list was active, so the folks available are from a mad variety of sources, official or otherwise. If you can't find a character anywhere else, give the Archive a try. Update Frequency: nil.
Martyrs and Madmen is a rather slick MSH Adventure Game site that's got info on new powers, oodles of character writeups from all over the Marvel Universe, and even some home-brewed characters. This site isn't updated often these days, but still has a large array of Saga material freely available for your gaming pleasure to this very day. Update Frequency: nil.
Marvel RPG Dot Net: Kythri's a hard-working madman.

Merlyn's Marvel Heroes RPG Page has been around for a while now, but hasn't got a lot of things yet. Has a home-brewed character, as well as one or two ideas for custom rules and whatnot, but draws the majority of his resources from other MSH RPG sites; included for the sake of completion. Update Frequency: nil.
The Negative Zone is Nick Evanko's secret little playground, featuring lots and lots of interesting game materials, including new character stand-ups that a body can print out for use on the maps given out in the MSH RPG boxed sets. He's also got some neat stuff about Marvel time, and lots of characters and things. Update Frequency: nil.
'Nuther World. This site that has some MSH Classic statistics on it, both 'official' (like a Doctor Strange Handbook) and 'unofficial' (like home-brewed characters). The dude's also got a few custom rule-type things on his page, including the point-system of character generation, so there's definitely stuff to see. So why don't you? Update Frequency: nil.
The Phantom's Lair is a place a body can go to check out MSH RPG statistics for several characters, either from the Marvel universe or from elsewhere, such as the Midnight Sons, the Justice League, etc... There's also lots of home made folks, as well, and it is here that you can acquire... the notorious Resurrection Chart. Update Frequency: nil.
Orion's Constellation is a big ol' super hero site that you'll want to check out, as the man has got stuff for most hero games out there, including stuff for the new Marvel Saga game, available now!

Shawn's Saga Page is a neat site devoted to some of your more obscure villains in the marvel universe, such as Stegron the Dinosaur Man, Mentallo, Air Force, and a whole lot more people that you forgot about - or would simply like to. Furthermore, he's provided a comparative strength chart for character modeling purposes, and more. Update Frequency: nil.
Superheroes RPG is yet another new Marvel Super Heroes RPG game that I've uncovered for your viewing pleasure. Though it has info for all super RPG games, it concentrates on the MSH game by offering up some house rules, some articles on super hero gaming, and of course, character writeups... Update Frequency: nil.
Tarrentz Marvel RPG Realm is another site you can go to for statistics on characters from your standard Marvel Universe. Tarrentz has lots of stuff you won't find on every other character site, so go take a look if you haven't had luck anywhere else. He's also got some 'home made brew' for your viewing pleasure. Update Frequency: nil.
Web Portal is a site that has apparently had some MSH RPG stuff on it for some time, but simply escaped my attentions. Heh. In addition to his AD+D and Transformers stuff, he's got a scenario for an adventure for the Marvel RPG game. Well, for the X-Men, specifically. Of course, the page hasn't been updated in a very long time. Update Frequency: nil.
Bil's Webpage this is the rather chrome-filled personal page of my good buddy Bil (with one ell) Lockwood. He's into more RPGs than you can shake a really, really big stick at, and has been a friend of mine longer than I can remember (but then, I'm getting old...). Check out his site today in order to get a better feel for his personality. Just don't grope - he'd like it too much...
Fredd Gorham's Utopian Home Presence is one of the neatest personal web sites I know of, but then, Fredd's a true Web Master. He's also a really cool artist and even cooler guy, and I'm glad I can call him a true friend of mine. He's got a metric butt load of neat-o things to check out on his page, and if you're at all interested in his artwork, take a gander at the Home Presence!!
JumpingJesus.com is another freaky weird home page, forged by good friend and lawn gnome freak Chris Horn (duh). Hereabouts, you can find cool stuff regarding meester Horn, including his favorite fill-in-the-blank of the month, portfolios of this artistic genius's work, and lots of other cool things - including his Jumping Jesus cartoons. Take a look at this one, darnit!!
Little E B's House O' Stuff is the internet home of Eric Buckner, another madman extraordinare, who has a link right back to me... woo woo! He's got personal info aboot him, but most of the page is devoted to his Vampire: the Masquerade game. If'n yer into that sort of thing, go and check his site out. Sure, it's just started up, but its getting better by the minute! Really!
the Marvel Chronology Project: this unique resource is an attempt to detail every single appearance of every single major (and thousands of minor) characters in the Marvel Universe. Though it has a few gaps here and there, the project is shaping up VERY nicely, and is an indispensable resource for tracking down every appearance of virtually any Marvel character. Update Frequency: often.
Rob Zombie: formerly Zombie 666, this is a gigantic site holding Zombie information for your perusal. If you like the group, you can find all sorts of groovy things here to amuse yerself.
