How can it stop being ahead of its time?

You wouldn't even see that because in 1982 there was no HDMI and the PS5 doesn't output video through any other connection :p

I've got the modem with the horse race game. I keep meaning to look for some private servers to check out the tech. Maybe I won't be putting in my credit card info though.
