A Look Back at 90s Cloud Gaming via Telephone Lines

This video illustrates the concept of early cloud gaming in the 1990s, where users would connect to a remote server by dialing a specific phone number. The footage shows a person using a landline telephone to input a number, which then establishes a connection to a game running on a television screen. This method of remote play was a precursor to modern cloud gaming services, though it was often plagued by significant input latency and technical limitations due to the era's telecommunications infrastructure.
