Tripped across this last night. Haven’t watched it yet but seemed interesting. It’s an hour + long documentary on the XBand device/service which allowed 16bit consoles likes the SNES and Genesis to play online in America.
Watched this in chunks. Just finished last night.
Just going to mention that this thing ends, with the hackers who are trying to resurrect XBand as a way of playing multiplayer 16bit games over the internet on actual original hardware. In fact it claims they are nearing something of a stable public release. Neat stuff.
