I used to sit at work - previous employment - hanging out in MUD, the text flying around the screen and my furious typing looked a lot like hard work. This was a decade ago, good to hear there's renewed interest.

Kool guys .. I started MUd on the Compunet network for CBM64 home computers ( remember Commodore! ) with the 300/75 modem ... 1994
Then I found the experimental PSS network, which became the Internet some ( many yearsl before the WWW) later .. Played MUD at Compunet and the original at Essex University, all by telephone! 1994 aagain!

There a many MUDs but only 1 MUD and MUDii ( ok 2 as MUD2.com still exists ! )

Why not pop over there and try the free time, www.mudii.co.uk

Hello

I used to have one of those! With the "exciting" 1200/75 mode (Prestel).

When my wife was complaining about our 1mb connection the other day, I did mention that I used to download games of 80K from BBS's and it used to take hours and hours at 300bps.

Steve.
