Submission + - M.U.L.E. is back! (planetmule.com)
jmp_nyc writes: The developers at Turborilla have remade the 1983 classic game M.U.L.E. The game is free, and has slightly updates graphics, but more or less the same gameplay as the original version. As with the original version, up to four players can play against each other (or fewer than four with AI players taking the other spots). Unlike the original version, the four players can play against each other online.
For those of you not familiar with M.U.L.E., it was one of the earliest economic simulation type games, revolving around the colonization of the fictitious planet Irata (Atari spelled backwards). I have fond memories of spending what seemed like days at a time playing the game, as it's quite addictive, with the gameplay seeming simpler than it turns out to be. I'm sure I'm not the only Slashdotter who had a nasty M.U.L.E. addiction back in the day and would like a dose of nostalgia every now and then...
