May 25, 2006. That was the day I launched Game Central, the web site dedicated to my personal gaming experiences. Therefore, today marks the fifth anniversary of the site. Over the past five years, I expanded Game Central quite a bit. I added to the role-playing section, home to some of my most cherished gaming memories, with lots of new content. I played another five seasons of North American League Baseball, and published extensive season stats. I played dozens of computer games, updated my game library, and identified new all-time favorites.

Today, I am adding Coin-Op games to the Computer Games section. Although not computer games as we think of them today, arcade coin-op games were my first love when it came to video games. I decided that it was time I devoted a page to my favorite coin-op classics.

Finally, after five years, I thought it was time to revamp Game Central’s design. Part of me hated to do it because I was very pleased with the original look. I spent many hours tweaking everything to get the details just right. Time marches on, however. I think this is a new, satisfying design that should serve the future of the site quite well. Here is Game Central 2.0.
