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.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 1995

A regional news and information site for Boston, Massachusetts and the area around it.

The Boston Globe launched it on 30 October 1995, ahead of most newspapers. In September 2011 the paywalled BostonGlobe.com took over the Globe's news, and Boston.com became a separate local site, still owned by Boston Globe Media Partners.

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.
