What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 1995
A collection of about a dozen free CGI scripts in Perl, written by Matt Wright to be dropped into a website and configured.
Wright started it in 1995 as a high-school student in Fort Collins, Colorado. His FormMail was claimed as the web's most popular CGI script, with over 2 million downloads, though its security holes later let spammers abuse it.
In 1995: Started this year by Wright, then in high school. Most of the scripts stopped changing after 1996 apart from fixes.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
