REC History - 1992

The Public Side still operated however there were reports of "a big tarp being laid over the West San Fernando Valley". Suddenly one day, the REC Public Side became REC MegaCity. Inspired by another line called "Teletown" that also operated in the San Fernando Valley, REC takes the use of compass navigation over the phone to the extreme. Instead of a small town, the entire west San Fernando Valley was laid out over the phone. Callers would use their phones to move between intersections. Callers could set up their own 'houses' where they can put a short message on it and then people would leave messages. Messages could be either private or public. Certain theme rooms were also set up based on real landmarks that are at the locations depicted on the phone system. Did you know that we actually went up and down every street that was placed in the MegaCity layout to get the landmarks. MegaCity was the first phone system that some users would need a map in order to navigate around in. In September, REC shuts down all operations in the San Fernando Valley.
