What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2002

A novelty site that turned Google results into statements about whatever name or word you typed in.

Paul Cherry and Chris Morton launched it in October 2002. It searched Google for sentences saying what your word is, then listed them. PCMag.com and ZDNet.com wrote about it.

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.
