C=64 networked gaming nostalgia

Rog posted in ·

This is cool, NetRacer brings modern-style network gaming to the C=64.

Now if only someone could revive Habitat, maybe we could see a C=64 MMO. ;)

That's where I first go excited about this massive merry-go-round, when Habitat was highlighted in C=64 magazines ~1985. The idea of connecting with people online for a virtual community thrilled me. While I was trying to figure out how my teenage-self could afford long-distance calls to Quantum Link + the hourly rates to play, they capped memberships. So I never did get to actually try it.

If people think it takes patience to wait for a bit of content, think about the decades just waiting for this stuff to be a reality. =P
