The History Of The Wargamer
The Wargamer has been recognized as the leading web site for the coverage of
war and strategy gaming by numerous international PC gaming magazines and
publications. In addition,
Wargamer.com has received nearly two-dozen
accolades and awards for content and design excellence from such
organizations as Encyclopedia Britannica, Microsoft France, PCGamer,
Computer Gaming World, and PC Magazine.
The Wargamer was founded in September 1995, as a vehicle for locating and
pairing up potential opponents for the play of computer and table based war
and strategy games. Since then, under the domain name
Wargamer.com, the site
has more than doubled annually in terms of web site scope, content,
functionality, readership, and traffic.
(In 2001 alone, the site grew in traffic by over 500 percent and, in Spring
2001,
Hot100.com rated
Wargamer.com as number 66 of the most popular
Internet gaming sites on the World Wide Web. In February 2002, PC Magazine
rated it among the top 100 Internet destinations, alongside such websites as
The Onion,
StarWars.com, and National Public Radio.) It is now a highly
popular Internet destination and the cornerstone of The Wargamer Network.
