Very old "Habbo" screenshots.

[MKR&*42]

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:



Look at the man's hair. It's still around today:



Kultakala screenshots:





















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

I recognize just about all of these! Thanks for letting us see them +REP

Oh wow, I remember the old public rooms! Back in the good old days.

Hahaha, this is pretty cool. So was Sulake around before Habbo, or was the company created in order to accommodate Habbo? It's a scary thought that some of this stuff is now 12 years old. Some of the Habbos who play today wouldn't have even been born. That makes me feel old...
