What it does

On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 1997

Microsoft's free online city guides to entertainment, with listings of what was on in mainly American cities.

The first guide opened in Seattle on 3 April 1997. Microsoft sold the city guides to Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch in July 1999, and the address now belongs to Ask Media Group.

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.
