Join us as we take a trip down memory lane and explore the 1983 CVC Gameline hardware, one of the earliest examples of online gaming technology. In this video, we'll delve into the history and design of the CVC Gameline, and take a closer look at how it worked and what made it unique.

The CVC Gameline was a cartridge-based gaming system that allowed owners of the Atari VCS to download and play games directly from a phone line. It was one of the first gaming systems to offer this feature, making it a trailblazer in the gaming industry.

In this video, we'll examine the hardware and the technology behind the CVC Gameline, including its modem, memory, and graphics capabilities.
