Video - Second Life and Habitat, 1986


In 1986 Habitat by Lucasfilm was a totally new game for the Commodore 64


If you have read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, published in 1992, you already have spotted the astonishing similarities with Second Life ®. What you maybe don't know is that if Stephenson coined the term "Metaverse", the term "Avatar" was already used a few years before, in an online role-playing game developed by Lucasfilm Games and named "Habitat". It was played with Commodore 64 clients connected to a central mainframe via modem, and was run from 1986 to 1988. Here's the promotional video.
