What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2006

A download site for free Windows programs repackaged to run from a USB stick or other removable drive.

John T. Haller founded it, and it grew into a project with contributions from more than 100 developers, designers and translators.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
