Free Online Games Site With GameSiteScript

Have you ever wanted to have your own free online games site? I know I sure did. I really enjoy playing all the different online flash games and can waste hours of my down time playing them. To this day, I’m still impressed by the quality of some of those free games.

Several months ago, I got serious about adding a free online game site to my website portfolio. I had been thinking about it for ages and finally decided to go for it. I started looking around eBay and the Sitepoint Marketplace for a site to buy and finally found a reasonably priced site on eBay. I won the auction for my very own game site, only to find out that the site was pirated and basically useless to me from a legal perspective.

Needless to say, I wasn’t pleased but I did get my money back from PayPal after submitting a claim. …but, that’s a different story that I really don’t want to get into right now.

After some more research (which I should have done in the beginning…), I ran into GameSiteScript. GameSiteScript is a PHP-based online game site framework that can be deployed in minutes. Here’s a brief description from their website:

GameSiteScript is an easy-to-use, feature-packed entertainment software package. With GameSiteScript, you can efficiently create your very own entertainment site within minutes of placing your order. Better still, a full range of media packages exist to complement GameSiteScript. This makes up to 5,250 media files available for practically instantaneous use and hours of enjoyment by your site’s visitors.

I was immediately impressed with GameSiteScript because it had all the features I was looking for and much more. I particularly liked the fact that the PHP source code was included and the template system could be fully customized.

At first, I was concerned about the duplicate content issues that can come up with sites that use the same framework like Build A Niche Store and Associate-O-Matic, but with access to the source, I could customize the site to avoid the potential Google slap. Problem solved.

I also liked that GameSiteScript has built-in content management, user administration, newsletter system, and even a built-in ad system. After running my free online game site for several months, the ad system has to be one of my favorite features. It’s so easy to change my ads in the admin section of the site.

There are way too many features for me to rave about, so check out the full feature list, screenshots, and live demo site. Also, you can check out my online game site to see GameSiteScript in action.

Check out the many different packages they have available for purchase. There’s a package tailored to whether you want to start big or small.

The folks over at GameSiteScript were kind enough to give me a coupon code to pass along to you. You can save 10% off your entire purchase is you use this coupon code when you check out: BTO

I hope you enjoy your free online game site as much as I do. :)

    I enjoyed reading it,
    Regards.

  5. La Roche Posay on January 31st, 2008

    A game site! You really can do anything these days. I always thought that was a pretty closed industry. Thanks for opening my eyes.

  6. Donovan on January 31st, 2008

    You wouldn’t believe how incredibly easy and quick it was to setup that site. I had the out-of-the-box version running within 5 minutes.

    One of the things I really like about the GameSiteScript is that you can buy additional game and video packs cheap. You can get groups of 250 games or videos that come with a SQL script that makes the upload process very simple.

    Just upload the games and run the script, and viola, you’re done. I’ve added two additional game packs to my site already, all paid for by the advertising and affiliate revenue that site produces.

    I certainly can’t complain.

  7. Penny Stocks on February 2nd, 2008

    Those are some interesting links that you for sharing those with us.

  8. Weight Loss Wand on February 2nd, 2008

  9. kamster on February 3rd, 2008

    Wow that is amazing how easily it is to setup a free games site.. Probably how addictinggames and freeflashgames got there… I think I’ll set my own up soon. Thanks for the tips!

  12. Mattresses on February 5th, 2008

    awesome! who can complain about free games?

  13. A-Bug on February 5th, 2008

    Great find!

    It is hard to rationalize buying games online when you know that they will result in time suckage…but, if they are free…have at ‘em!

  14. snes on February 6th, 2008

    as you can tell from my nickm=name i enjoy gamimg and if its free even better

  15. neil strauss on February 6th, 2008

    I wondered how people managed to get all those games on their sites. So its matter of paying for it, and surprisingly its not that expensive. I think i am going to make one for my nephews birthday, so he could boost to his friends he has his very own online games site!

  16. Donovan on February 6th, 2008

    I’m sure your nephew would really enjoy having is own free game site.

    Something I didn’t mention in this post is the high-score add-on. Having the high-score add-on really keeps people coming back to these sites.

    Free game players are fiercely competitive and will vigilantly “protect” their high scores should they be overtaken.

    Food for thought…

  17. Web Hosting News on February 7th, 2008

  24. Julia Roberts on February 12th, 2008

    DO not play online. Too expensive. Better to buy cd game.

  25. Donovan on February 12th, 2008

    No problem, Fly Fishing For Beginners. Good luck!

  49. Marf on April 2nd, 2008

    I like to find those sites that give you the code to embed the game in a website. Not because of the embed code; because I know they’re saying it’s OK to put the game on your site. I write my own embed code that complies with xhtml strict standards.
