What it does

Each round end: +0 to +2 Power to this card.

Each round end fires as every round finishes.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 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 2002

A website where people post their own games, animations, music and art, run by its founder Tom Fulp.

Submissions are scored by users, and the worst are 'blammed', deleted with only their reviews kept in the 'Obituaries'. It was a training ground for Flash animators and game makers. It now plays old Flash through Ruffle.

In 2002: Alien Hominid, a Flash game by Fulp and Dan Paladin, appeared in August and later became a console game.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
