I wrote a Commodore 64 BBS that almost worked – the C64 couldn’t auto-answer the phone so I had to manually respond to an incoming call. Message board traffic became a data line in BASIC and after saving the program would break and re-run which would make that new message available to others to read. Not bad for 1983.
Of course, CompuServe email was already a thing so my little amateur hackaroo was just that.
Before that for me.

That’s awesome.
I’m a bit younger but I remember being on a game forum and asking if the commodore 64 was anything like the N64.
