What it does
On reveal: -1 to +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 1998
An online gaming service where PC players met through its own software to play games such as Quake and Command & Conquer, plus card and board games.
In February 1997 it became one of the first big services to let people play for free, paid for by adverts, and its voice chat was spun off as HearMe. At its peak it drew over 20 million visitors a month before GameSpy took it over.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1998 page.
