Hello, My name is Eric Johnson. I have worked at Tournamentgames.com since 2001. I began when we ran the site out of Jack's basement. We had 2 servers, and a T1 connection. At that time we had 2 games, Solitaire, and Triple Stars. I started by helping build our support and monitoring software. Shortly thereafter, we moved to a shiny new office space in town, and was able to stretch our legs a little and add a few more games. We built some Flash versions of our games (anyone remember these?). They did not go over so well, clearly players prefer full screen DirectX games! We stayed at that office until 2004, when we purchased our own space.
We have gone through many changes over the years, I have seen games come and go (anyone remember Dropit?, Word Search?). But I have to say, we have the best version of tournament games ever. We have many things we want to accomplish, and daily we are working on improving things. We always welcome suggestions, and really like feedback. We do this for you, the player. So please let us know how we can improve the site!

Hey Brad, I hope you guys like this spiffy new bulletin board! Just help me keep it family friendly, but since only our players can post messages, hopefully it will be ok. I sent you a message about becoming a moderator if you would be so kind to agree...

Hi Eric,
I've been playing here since the beginning.... when there was one solitaire tournament for everyone. I'm so thrilled that you guys are still up and going. You deserve the success. This site has always been such a nice place to visit. I'm amazed at how much has changed in the last decade (wow... that makes me feel old!) Keep up the good work!

I have been playing these games for long time. I think you do a great job keeping games updated and competitive. And I have on occassion spoken to "customer service" and they are always nice and very helpful! Best even though I find a new game to play elsewhere, I always prefer TG . Great job.

I have been here since almost the beginning.. I think I first joined in 1999 or 2000. Not under this account though.. Had a couple that deleted/went inactive/got rid of through the years. I just wish I could remember how I found TG... Regardless, you guys are the best gaming site for card-type games on the net! I have also 'shopped around' and have not found anything that compares! Thank you all for the hard work that you put into this!!

Hi,
I used to play way back when... I do remember "drop it". I loved that game. I recently started playing here again and I love it. Nowhere can you play games for a penny. LOL. You guys offer great games for resonable entry fees. Keep up the good work and thanks for years of entertainment.
Trish
