How can it stop being ahead of its time?

“It’s time” was a long time ago

You wouldn't even see that because in 1982 there was no HDMI and the PS5 doesn't output video through any other connection :p

I've got the modem with the horse race game. I keep meaning to look for some private servers to check out the tech. Maybe I won't be putting in my credit card info though.
