Tactical Gamer has come a long way...

**TG_Bubba** · 01-12-2007, 12:02 AM

Check out what Tactical Gamer looked like in the beginning, Feb 3 2003.

Compared what we look like today TG has come a long way. Congrats to all of TG for making us what we are.

Nice Bubba!

Wow, I love the crosshairs :P Wow that's really cool! TG has sure come a long ways in such a short time

I can only imagine what should come over the next couple of years.

Maybe a TG-mobile with a TG-cave! :P (Think batman without bats)

What's amusing about that particular version of the site is that I had written the entire CMS system myself. Based on what game icon you clicked on, you got a different set of news and a different color scheme on the site. A primitive version of what I've been developing recently.

If you look at that link, the second story down is officially announcing the re-naming of Network 42 Tactical Gaming to Tactical Gamer.

An important day in history for TG!

I noticed that when I brought the page up. One of the reasons I posted it.

That's awesome. Glad to see xlii.com still sends the odd wayward 42er to tactical gamer

**Apophis** · 01-12-2007, 10:37 AM

xlii.com is actually where the 42nd got its designation from many moons ago.

Aww... Too bad you can't read the Bunny Hole posts anymore.

And look at how GR was the big thing then. Now it's the BF series.. 4 years from now, I wonder what it will be..

Check out the Server Status link..."Spiider" is actually me as an alias I still use sometimes. Lol, what was I thinking playing Natural Selection? Crazy. Maybe that's why I was using a different name, I didn't want my CS friends to see me playing NS.

JK, NS guys.

Any chance of some Apo before-and-after haircut pics? I'm interested to see how much hair he has lost

For every permission set, another follicle dies...

Please Luna? Pleeeeeeeease!
