What it does

On reveal: -1 to +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 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 1995

A video game site of walkthroughs, cheat codes and guides written by volunteers, with a message board for every game.

Jeff Veasey started it in 1995 to gather the internet's game guides in one place. It had a million hits in a day by August 2000, and CNET bought it in 2003. Fandom has owned it since October 2022.

In 1995: Started on 5 November as the Video Game FAQ Archive, hosted on AOL, with about 10 pages and 100 FAQs.

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

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