It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2000
An internet radio service that builds personal stations from a song or artist you like, matching tracks by musical traits.
It began as Savage Beast Technologies in 2000, and staff agreed to work two years unpaid to keep it alive. By December 2013 it had 70% of US internet radio listening. SiriusXM bought it for $3.5 billion in 2019.
In 2000: Founded as Savage Beast Technologies. Its first plan, a shop built on its recommendation engine, died with the dot-com peak that March. It licensed the tech instead.
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 2000 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2000, then plays a short scene. Want Pandora in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
