What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2002

A free Flash role-playing game, played through its BattleOn website, in which you fight monsters in turn-based battles across the world of Lore.

Artix Entertainment has kept it going for more than two decades. A one-off $19.95 'Guardian' upgrade, introduced in 2003, unlocked extra content and paid for the servers.

In 2002: Started this year as a single-player game whose characters were saved on the developers' servers.

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.

Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
