What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.

The site, in 2000

A Japanese video game news site, run from Tokyo by Aetas, a subsidiary of Digital Hearts.

Launched in August 2000 by editor-in-chief Hazukisa Okada. It publishes previews, reviews and interviews with game creators, and a biweekly radio show, RADIO 4Gamer Tap.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
