Returning After All These Years

Wow. I don't even know where to start.

For some reason today, I felt compelled to type www.gamewinners.com into my browser, fully expecting to see a dead link or a domain lost to time. But then—this. The forums. The community. Somehow, it's still here (or rather, reborn), and I knew I had to register immediately and reclaim my old username.

Back in the day, GameWinners was the site. I still remember riding my bike to the local library, hopping on those clunky old computers, and printing out pages upon pages of cheats, tips, and glitches—armed with nothing but a few quarters to cover the printing costs. I spent hours here, digging through forum posts, looking for hidden gems in my favorite games. I even submitted a few cheats myself (pretty sure I sent in some for Need for Speed: Most Wanted on Xbox).

Seeing this place again hits hard in the best way.

Lately, I've been writing a book about my life through the lens of gaming—how certain games shaped who I was, the friendships they forged, and the memories that stuck with me long after the consoles were packed away. And stumbling on GameWinners today? It feels like fate. This place was a part of my gaming story, and I had no idea it was still alive in any form.

Looking forward to reconnecting, reminiscing, and seeing where this new chapter of GameWinners goes. Feels good to be back.

Welcome back! Cheats might be a thing of the past, but Gamewinnners sure isn't. We keep pumping new T-Virus into the corpse and won't let it stay down.

Glad to see you’ve found your way back here after all those years, and it definitely seems like such a fitting time.

As far as where it goes? Well, we didn’t expect many people to attend this little reunion in the first few days it was live, but, here we are… working towards our second year.

Welcome home! We're glad to have you with us :). We've been trying our best to keep GW alive in any way we can. It definitely was great you decided to check up on the gw link, that's why we keep that splash page going, because we want everyone to find us. Al himself might have ridden off into the sunset to retire, but he left a community that loves GW behind and we're doing all we can to let people know we're here. So welcome home and thanks for sharing how much GW meant to you! We always love hearing those stories because we feel the same!

Best of luck with your book, as well :)
