What's old is new again (Score 1)

Does anyone remember back in the mid-80s that CompuServe had an almost identical thing - it wasn't 3D, but it had 2D bobble-head cartoon representations of dial-up users that were also called Avatars, and you could interact with them in an online world etc. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but I remember using my friend Bill's Commodore 64 to talk to (ostensible) girls while we listened to Ozzy Osbourne tapes.

Sigh. Good old C64.
