What it does

On reveal: +0 to +4 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1998

A site for classic Atari games, with news, forums, a store and a searchable database of manuals, box art and screenshots.

Named after Atari Age magazine, which ran from 1982 to 1984. Its homebrew community writes new games for old Atari consoles, and some have appeared in official compilations such as Activision Anthology. Atari SA bought the site in 2023.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

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