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.
Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.
The site, in 1996
MTV's website, on the mtv.com address that VJ Adam Curry registered in 1993 and first ran as the channel's unofficial voice on the internet.
Curry's bosses approved at first, but when he left to start his own web company, MTV sued him for the name, an early fight over who owns a domain. MTV ended up with the address.
In 1996: By now MTV ran the address itself, after its dispute with Curry ended.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
