@Home and HEAT.NET Promotion

HEAT.NET, the free online gaming service with the largest selection of games, and @Home Network, the leader in high-speed Internet services via the cable infrastructure, have put a promotion, offering 5,000 Degrees (the official currency of HEAT.NET) to anyone who signs up for the @Home service through a promotional web site.

@Home and HEAT.NET Promotion is the story on November 11, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. HEAT.NET, the free online gaming service with the largest selection of games, and @Home Network, the leader in high-speed Internet services via the cable infrastructure, have put a promotion, offering 5,000 Degrees (the official currency of HEAT.NET) to anyone who signs up for the @Home service through a promotional web site. The promotion will run until November 30th.

For players keeping track of patches, demos, hardware drivers, online events, and retail releases, this is the sort of news that can change what gets installed tonight. Free stuff, prizes, tournaments, and rebates are always worth a look, provided you read the fine print first.
