Thoughts on Randnet for the 64DD

for people who don't know, Randnet was an online service released for the Nintendo 64DD which was quite impressive for it's time.

I thought it was a great idea, but the execution was beyond botched.

Although... Credit where it's due: Nintendo were always trying to pioneer the online movement for their consoles: from the gambling service on the NES, to the online deathmatches of the SNES, to this thing.
