What it does
On reveal: +4 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 8 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 1999
GameSpy's download service for PC gamers, offering demos, patches, mods and other files.
It opened with about 10,000 files, mostly for Quake 2, and became one of the largest game download sites, run alongside GameSpy's Planet sites and ForumPlanet. It later came under IGN along with GameSpy.
In 1999: Went live with roughly 10,000 files, most of them for Quake 2.
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.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
