What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
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.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 1997
A Japanese search engine and web portal, run by NTT Resonant, that first crawled Japanese-language sites itself.
The name is meant to stand for a global network expanding to infinity. Its mascot is a goat called Megu-tan. It later switched to using Google's results.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1997 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1997, then plays a short scene. Want goo in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
