The Next Tetris Announced

The Next Tetris lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.

The Next Tetris has been announced, adding another target to a 1999 calendar already packed with more games and gear than anybody has time to play.

The names attached here include Leading, Hasbro Interactive, The Tetris Company, Blue Planet Software, and PlayStation. The platform angle centers on PC and PlayStation. The hook is LAN.

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.
