Fun fact:
In the 1980s, before the dawn of the internet, my friends and I ran a dial-up BBS on one of my Commodore 64s, out of my apartment. We called it Tudor Nightmare Village. It ran on a 2400 baud modem, and only one person could be logged in at a time. We had a chat room, files (many of a "questionable" nature), and even a couple of multiplayer, turn based games.
