Title is slightly "badly worded" but meh.
I stumbled on a site last night at about 3am and fell in love lmao. I should explain something before I post the pics because a few of you might be confused about wth each 1 is for.
- MobilesDisco - This was an online game developed by Aapo [Finnish last name] and Sampo [Finnish last name] (The founders of Sulake) for their friend's band. It was only available for a short while but became quite popular so it gave them the aspiration to start developing a "full" online game.
- Lumisota - Wonder where the idea for SnowStorm came from? Look no further. Aapo and Sampo created this game just before Project Goldfish I BELIEVE. The word Lumisota means "Snowball Fight".
- Project Goldfish - This was basically the foundations of Habbo. A person named "Dee Edwards" put the idea of Project/Hotel Goldfish put forward and she basically provided the whole idea for the future Habbo Hotel. Of course, Sulake never mention her on their site... she left after making £1 million from it and she sold her shares back to the founders. Bet she's kicking herself now due to how much it's worth.
- Kultakala - This was basically the Finnish hotel from August 2000 - until January 2001... when Habbo Hotel BETA was born.
- Habbo Hotel... do I really need to explain this? These screenies for Habbo Hotel are from the UK hotel in 2001.

Project Goldfish screenshots:
Aha, they have a bed similar to this on Habbo.fi and look at the stiki. That wall also looks a bit like an USVA wall rug:

Habbo Hotel (UK BETA 2001) screenshots:
I'm fairly sure this one is supposedly from 2001, it might have been from 1 of the other projects though:

Credits go to the amazing owner of this blog: http://xuble.wordpress.com/. FYI, you may notice the name Apparatus on quite a lot of those pictures - Apparatus was Sampo (Finnish last name), one of the founders of Sulake. The other one was simply called Aapo on the hotels.
Enjoy x
