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.

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

The site, in 1993

An all-volunteer collection of Linux manuals, HOWTOs and guides, published online for administrators and beginners.

It began as an FTP site in 1992 and moved to the web in 1993. It holds over 475 documents, about a dozen of them book length, many in print from publishers such as O'Reilly. It is dormant now; the last guide update was in 2014.

Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
