What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Search card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 2002
A gallery of downloadable skins for Winamp, the music player whose whole look could be swapped.
Skins arrived with Winamp 2.0 in 1998, and users were invited to post theirs on Winamp.com. About 3,000 existed by 2000. Winamp.com's skins section later held more than 1,900 classic and 700 modern skins.
In 2002: Winamp3 came out in August with a new 'modern' skin format, which Winamp 5 later kept alongside the classic one.
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.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
