The site, in 2004
A free browser game portal full of short, simple games, among them the Helicopter Game.
Bill Karamouzis bought the web address in the early 2000s and built it into a games site. Atom Entertainment bought it in 2004, and MTV Networks bought Atom for $200 million in 2006. Karamouzis got it back in 2018.
In 2004: Atom Entertainment bought the site this year and soon launched a video directory, AddictingClips.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
