What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
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.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 1996
An educational website for students and teachers, created in 1996 and later run by the Oracle Education Foundation.
Best known for its contest, in which teams of students built educational websites for other pupils. Its library grew to thousands of student-made sites. Oracle discontinued ThinkQuest on 1 July 2013.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
