History
Zophar's Domain was created in 1996 by Brad Levicoff and officially went online November 9th. Throughout the years, Zophar's Domain has become the largest archive of emulation related files on the Internet. On September 20th, 2000, Mr. Levicoff handed the site over to Sam Michaels. Mr. Michaels started in 1998 as the links maintainer and quickly moved up to replace Alan Lanoie as CGI programmer. Since then, Mr. Michaels has steered Zophar's Domain away from a CGI-driven site and has made the site completely reliant upon PHP and MySQL.
In May 2008 work on the new Zophar's Domain website was started by Edmunds Steins. A content management system backend was developed and the whole site became database driven. Converting all the old HTML files to a fully database driven site was a monumental task, and thanks to this, Zophar's Domain can now be not just the oldest, but also the most modern emulation site around. Brad Levicoff, the founder of Zophar's Domain, returned to the staff on August 6th, 2008. We look forward to providing the entire community with the most comprehensive site once more.
