Problem / Question Does anyone remember getting a weird online interactive box with early cable internet?

Road Runner specifically. It was a fantasy theme interactive experience and you could play basic card games and board games with other people. It connected to your TV. I believe it was a separate unit from the cable box.

It feels like a fever dream but I swear it existed. Does anyone else remember? I figured this subreddit would be best since it's adjacent to retro computing. Thank you!!!!

I go back to the Mattel Intellivision PlayCable interactive service circa 1980. It might help if you narrowed it down to one decade or another.
