Prestel, Micronet and BBS (Telnet Games).

I was thinking the other day about growing up.

In the early 80's, then internet was so limited, but with the aid of a Commodore 64 an Acoustic Coupler and a phone line, you had access to BBS Services (Bulletin Boards).

They were basically crude but interactive pages, like old teletext. Does anyone here remember or have used Prestel (owned by BT back in the day) or Micronet And remember the huge phone bills lol?
