Yahoo! Games (thing)

A Java-based free games site on the internet. It is located at: http://games.yahoo.com/

A brief history of Y! Games:
It all started an EE grad student dropped out of UCSD to start his own gaming site, originally called SpringerSpan (afer his Springer Spaniel). The name quickly changed to ClassicGames.com, and was eventually bought by Yahoo!. Well, perhaps "bought" is a little too strong, since it was a one person company to start with, but they did pay for all the games he currently had.
