Fighter Ace Tournament on Feb. 21

Fighter Ace Tournament on Feb. 21 adds another piece to the February 1999 gaming business rush, from chats and contests to deals and studio moves.

Fighter Ace Tournament on Feb. 21 puts prizes, bragging rights, or a public challenge in front of players, and that is exactly the kind of noise the late-90s PC scene feeds on.

The names attached here include Microsoft, February 21, Operation Barbarossa, MSN Gaming Zone, and Commanders. The platform angle centers on MSN Gaming Zone. The hook is multiplayer and tournament. The hard numbers include February 21.

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