Chinese video game operator Shanda, founded in late 1999, has grown to become one of the biggest companies to offer online video game services . Shanda sells both imported games from around Asia, as well as home-grown products, including South Korea’s "The Legend of Mir II" and the Chinese "The World of Legend", the two most popular online games in China in 2003 and 2004.
Specializing in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games (MMORPG) (their latest release was the cute "Magic Land"), the company also offers less demanding entries ("The Three Kingdoms"), in addition to electronic chess and board games. The site also includes an entertainment/literature portal (stories based on magic fantasy, science fiction and online games), and also a network platform for online PC games (the classic "Warcraft"). In two words, Shanda is "geek heaven"!
