ZAM Network is a company providing various services for video gamers. In September 2018, a number of websites operated by ZAM disappeared or announced their shutdown.
ZAM Network was originally founded as Allakhazam in 1999 and provided a platform with database, wiki, and forums for individual games. These sites continue to exist under the allakhazam.com and newer sites (e.g. FFXIV) under the zam.com domain.
