What it does

On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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.

Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.

The site, in 1999

A games network that began with a Quake server finder and grew into multiplayer matchmaking software and news sites, founded by Mark Surfas.

By 2014 over 800 game publishers and developers had used its multiplayer services. Its service platform was shut down on 31 May 2014.

In 1999: Took angel investment from David Berkus and, in October, launched the GameSpy.com games portal.

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.
