[2][3] The site also hosts message boards where collectors and fans can ask questions and get answers from experts, and buy or sell arcade games and parts.

[4] 1980s: In the mid-1980s that a master list of coin-operated video games was slowly built by arcade enthusiasts communicating via dial-up bulletin board systems.

The KLOV was distributed via BBS systems, as well as via the Internet Usenet group "rec.games.video.arcade", both of which also provided a reference source for updates to the list.

Johnson was instrumental in developing the KLOV's web site from a simple list to a full web-based encyclopedia.

His company, WebMagic, registered the Internet domain name 'KLOV.com' for the site on January 13, and continues to provide substantial financial support for the KLOV to this day as a chief sponsor.

Community message forums were quickly added to the site, as was a new moderated wiki-style information update system to allow multiple people to administer user contributions.

This 100% free application allowed anyone with a Palm VII wireless PDA to access KLOV game entries with text and graphics while on the road.

This application is no longer maintained since more modern cell phones such as the iPhone and Palm Pre can directly display the KLOV's offerings via built-in web browsers.
