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.

Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.

The site, in 1994

One of the first online music shops, selling compact discs and other music products by mail order from its website.

Twin brothers Jason and Matthew Olim started it in their parents' basement in Pennsylvania in 1994. Valued at over $1 billion in 1998, it sold to Bertelsmann in 2000 for $117 million.

In 1994: Started as a Telnet service in August and became a shopping website in September, with a record distributor shipping the orders.

Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.

Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
