What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2000
An online pet supplies shop from San Francisco, remembered for its sock puppet mascot, a dog with a microphone.
The puppet, performed by Michael Ian Black, appeared in the 1999 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and a 2000 Super Bowl ad. Sales rose, but the company never made a profit and shut in November 2000, one of the best-known dot-com failures.
In 2000: A Super Bowl ad in January and a Nasdaq listing in February. It announced its closure on 7 November and stopped taking orders two days later.
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.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
