What it does
Ongoing: At a Games location, +2 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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
Gameforge's browser strategy game set in space: you build up planets, mine metal, crystal and deuterium, and send fleets to attack or colonise.
One of the longest-running browser games, it was still being developed more than 20 years on and marked its 20th anniversary in 2022 with in-game events.
In 2002: Released this year; each player began with a single home planet at randomly chosen coordinates.
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.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2002 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2002, then plays a short scene. Want OGame in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
