GameFAQs is a popular website that has provided FAQs, walkthroughs, images, codes, game saves, reviews, and data for video games free of charge to visitors since November 1995. It was started and is maintained by Jeff "CJayC" Veasey, and it has one of the largest databases of video games available on the Internet. [1] The systems and games range from the retro to the cutting edge, with many obscure consoles and titles. Registration allows access to the extremely active message board community (which has posted over 200 million messages in over 20 million topics by over 2.5 million users) and the ability to contribute game content. Since 2003, the site is a wholly owned subsidiary of CNET Networks.
