Own every card of 1990.
Nelson Mandela walks out of prison after twenty-seven years and the world watches live. In April a great telescope is sent into orbit around the Earth. In August Iraq invades Kuwait and a crisis begins that runs into 1991. The new decade opens with both hope and worry for everyone.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
Sega
Sega's answer to Nintendo's handheld, released a year later, was a pocket Master System in colour: most of its games were conversions from the home console, at a lower resolution. A commercial success, it still looked small beside its rival's sales. In 2001 Majesco started making it again.

Its first director was James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA's double helix. Reading the whole human genome also meant studying model organisms such as the fruit fly. A private rival, Celera, spent about $300 million hoping to sell access to drug firms. Completion was announced in April 2003.
Ferrero
Wafers filled with a freshly made paste, then dipped in a chocolate bath: Ferrero launched this bar in Italy in 1990 and in France the following year. The French bars come from the group's factory at Villers-Écalles in Seine-Maritime, where Nutella is made too.
