COMPUNET REBORN
THE LIVE ONE LIVES ON!
Compunet was a UK-based interactive online service that ran from 1984 to 1993, serving the Commodore 64 community. It featured user-generated content, electronic mail (Courier), telesoftware downloads, a page editor, multi-user partyline chat, and the iconic horizontally-scrolling "duckshoot" menu.
Compunet Reborn recreates this unique service on modern systems. Connect from any PETSCII terminal, a C64 emulator, or real hardware — and experience it live.
