GameSpy 2.16 Shareware Released

GameSpy 2.16 Shareware Released is today’s update from the October 1999 desk, and there is enough here to make retro PC players pay attention.

The useful part: The new version supports Epic’s demo of Unreal Tournament, so you can jump into the fray immediately on starting the game. It also supports Deer Hunter 3, so if the bots in UT are too scary, you can always hunt down some fuzzy forest critters with your friends. GameSpy 2.16 is for registered users only. The Shareware version should be ready in a couple of days. File it under the usual 1999 PC pile: interesting, crowded, and probably fighting five other releases for attention.
