In all the New Year’s celebrations, it totally slipped my mind that there was another reason to celebrate. That reason is OUR birthday! Yesterday, Snackbar Games celebrated it’s 5th birthday. We were online in early December of 2002, but our official launch was Jan 1, 2003.
So Happy Birthday to US!
