In the 1980s, Games Computers Play (GCP) was an online service and one of the first multiplayer online games (MOGs) to offer a graphical user interface (GUI).
The system was only accessible with Atari 8-bit computers with a minimum of 48k of memory (Atari 800, 1200XL, 800XL, and 65XE/130XE, U.S. models listed only).

Famous quotes containing the words games and/or play:
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
