PlayNET

An early online service that laid down the technical framework for the later Quantum Link, PlayNET featured a GUI which (among other activities) allowed for easy play of parlour games against real players in remote locations, all through the very narrow bottleneck of early '80s ~300 baud modems. Thirteen games included on the disk, distributed (in some areas) with new Commodore 64 computers, included:

• Backgammon,
• Boxes,
• Capture the Flag,
• Checkers,
• Chess,
• Chinese Checkers,
• Contract Bridge,
• Four in a Row,
• Go,
• Hangman,
• Quad 64,
• Reversi,
• and Sea Strike
