What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Games card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2002
An American video game site with news, reviews, previews, trailers and walkthroughs, which began by covering PC games.
Pete Deemer, Vince Broady and Jon Epstein launched it on 1 May 1996. A $20 million partnership with Ziff Davis followed in 1997. CNET bought it in 2000, and Fandom has owned it since October 2022.
In 2002: Owned by CNET since 2000, which had closed its other games site, Gamecenter, in February 2001.
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.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2002 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2002, then plays a short scene. Want GameSpot in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
