Revision as of 16:53, 30 April 2025

The Minitel, officially known as Télétel, was a videotex online service accessible through telephone lines.

Videotex is a modified interactive version of the Teletext protocol that existed in TV broadcast.

Launched commercially in 1982, it was the world's first and most successful mass-market online service prior to the World Wide Web.

Multiple services existed in the CPC era, like 3615 AMCHARGE and 3615 MICROCHARGE, to download games for the Amstrad CPC via Minitel.

The Minitel can still be used today to access your Amstrad news.
