What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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

An online catalogue of arcade games past and present, run as the video game department of the International Arcade Museum.

Known as KLOV, it grew from a list passed around bulletin boards in the 1980s and took its Killer List name in 1991. A web version was running by November 1995. In 2005 Newsweek called it the IMDb for players.

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.
