Baldur’s Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast Announced

Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.

Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast 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 Black Isle Studios, RPG, Interplay Entertainment, Entitled Baldur's Gate, and CD-ROM. The platform angle centers on Windows 95/98 and Windows 95. The hook is LAN and RPG. The hard numbers include Windows 95.

The hardware race is getting mean now. Every new board, driver, chip, and oddball peripheral is trying to be the thing that makes your rig feel less old by next week.
