R6 Toolkit Public Beta Released
R6 Toolkit Public Beta lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.
R6 Toolkit Public Beta gives players an early slice of the action, and in 1999 that means another download queue worth babysitting.
The names attached here include The R6 Retreat, The R6 Toolkit, Rainbow Six, and Among. The hook is multiplayer and beta.
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.
