GameDex focused on PC-gaming events

GameDex focused on PC-gaming events lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.

GameDex focused on PC-gaming events is another February 1999 item worth filing away, because the small notices often tell you where the industry is heading next.

The names attached here include Case, Ladder, GameSpy Industries, LAN, and Open. The platform angle centers on PC. The hook is LAN, online, and tournament.

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.
