Free-PC Announced

Free-PC adds another piece to the February 1999 gaming business rush, from chats and contests to deals and studio moves.

Free-PC has been announced, adding another target to a 1999 calendar already packed with more games and gear than anybody has time to play.

The names attached here include USA Networks, Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch, Internet Shopping Network, First Auction, and Home Shopping Network. The platform angle centers on PC. The hook is online. The hard numbers include $10 and 10,000 units.

It may not be the loudest headline of the month, but these deals, events, and announcements are the gears turning behind the games.
