What is this - "Carry On Up the CPC" ? :D

Blame it on the French :D
Do today kids realize how easy it is to ask for the wifi password ?
Back then you would need to:
- convince your parents to buy a minitel cable which plugged to the joystick port
- convince your parents to move the minitel from the entrance to the room where your CPC lived. Hoping the phone cable was long enough
- connect to the service for a 20 minute downloading time. During which the line was kept busy and your family would miss any incoming call and was unable to call anyone. And during which a per-minute fee was running.
- play the game
- Most games did not offer the option for saving to disk, meaning that when switching off the computer you lost the game.
It sounded so modern and in fact was prehistory.
