|
Heat.net was an Online PC Gaming system produced by SegaSoft , Sega 's PC game division. Heat.net hosted both Sega-published First- and Second-party games, as well as popular Third-party Games of the era, such as Quake 2 or Baldur's Gate . Heat.net was based on a licensed version of the MPlayer Internet multiplayer gaming system, which itself later became GameSpy . The "currency" in the gaming system was "degrees", earned through game knowledge contests, gambling, or other actions (like hosting enough game rooms in a time period). Heat.net had a loyalty program, in which members, known as " Foot Soldiers ", received shirts and Heat.net Dogtags . In September 2000, it was announced that Heat.net would be shutting down on Halloween , October 31, 2000. This was due in large part to the creation of SegaNet , and the forthcoming release of the Dreamcast , which featured online gaming. Back in its own time, Heat.net was the only free multiplayer directory and video games around this time did not include a multiplayer browser. PARTIAL LIST OF GAMES SUPPORTED ON HEAT.NET
