Game Castle was first created in middle of 1995. It was
one page which had a set of useful game sites, and then grew
as time went by. Simcity 2000 was the first game featured on
Game Castle, in fact the old name of this site was Simcity
2000 Pit Stop Center. This site was first located on my old
ISP's ftp site and once I changed ISP I had to
move the site over to oocities.com since it was one of the
only places that would host a site for free at that time.
As time went by new games were added to the Simcity 2000
Pit Stop Center, which made me change the name to Game
Castle. Things were going smoothly, but I suddenly lost all
interesting in playing games and working on Game Castle. I
did answer a few e-mails but that was about it. As time went
by the site was getting older and older and wasn't being
updated. The traffic my site received dropped quite a bit,
but it didn't bother me at the time.
About a year passed by, before I decided to start
working on the page again. I change the way the site looked
majorly by adding pictures and background music, etc... I
even came up with GC agents (now called GC Knights)
which were a group of volunteers helping me create and add
content to the site. Time went by and the site continued to
grow, but there was still a lack of updates, they were only
made bi-weekly. For almost all of 1998 the site continued to
grow (not quickly, but it did grow) and continued to get
little updates here and there.
Near the end of 1998 the site once again changed for the
better. The site you are viewing right now is the new site,
which will be updated frequently with new content. Not only
is the site easier to update now because everything is
neatly organized but there are more knights then ever that
are helping. :)
Thanks for visiting,
