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.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 1997

Yahoo's sports news site, with scores, stats and team pages for almost every major North American sport.

It launched on 8 December 1997, growing out of an earlier Yahoo Scoreboard. Most of its data comes from Stats Perform. From 2011 to 2016 the name was also borrowed by a US sports radio network.

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.
