GamesZone, the Pan European Internet game service from ICL, announced today that HEAT.NET, the industry's premiere online gaming service, is now available to all UK based GamesZone registered members.

HEAT.NET in the UK is the story on November 24, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. GamesZone, the Pan European Internet game service from ICL, announced today that HEAT.NET, the industry's premiere online gaming service, is now available to all UK based GamesZone registered members. HEAT.NET's customized offering will enable GamesZone members to play the latest boxed games over the Internet, including best selling titles such as Quake, Quake 2, Total Annihilation and Unreal.

The GamesZone service will also feature exclusive SegaSoft titles designed for optimal Internet play including Vigilance and Net Fighter as well as several future titles to be named later. The business side keeps moving, and sometimes those deals decide what we actually get to play next year.
