We actually had a Minitel service in Houston which in its way was a successful gaming platform. The social aspect never really took off.

- afiler 15y agoI had to look this up after you mentioned it. Looks like it was run by a company called US Videotel: http://www.digibarn.com/collections/systems/minitel-usa/index.html http://www.digibarn.com/collections/systems/minitel-usa/inde... I know the US also had some trials of teletext (text pages over broadcast TV) too, but I think that was even less successful than videotel.
