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 1996
A technology site of reviews, news, benchmarks and price comparisons, mostly about PC hardware, started by Thomas Pabst.
Pabst founded it in 1996. It covers processors, graphics cards, memory and storage, and runs a forum. It is now owned by the British publisher Future plc.
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.
