M.U.L.E.Although I find it hard to believe, I have heard that there are people out in the world who have never played one of the influential and ground-breaking multiplayer games of all time: Electronic Arts’ M.U.L.E.

Really? What were you people thinking?

Still, it might not have been their fault per se, after all M.U.L.E. was released in 1983 for the Atari 400/800 and C64 (as well as a few other platforms) and reputedly only sold less than 50,000 copies. And today, if you tried to find a copy of M.U.L.E. you might be hard pressed to do so. Still, I find such excuses lacking for those who fancy themselves true gamers of moderate sophistication.

But, you ask, what about people who don’t want to scour the internet looking for it? What about people who can’t afford such an awesome program, even if they could find it on ebay, or craigslist or Bijan? What about people who get I.D. 10-t errors when they try to run all but the most basic programs? What about people who don’t want to use an emulator and try to mount virtual drives because that’s something they’d rather not ask for help doing as it sounds a little bit weird when you shout it in mixed company? And finally what about those people who just don’t think it’s going to be any good because… well, because it’s just soooo old and the graphics are just not pretty enough?

Well, I’ll tell you what you can say to those people… ready for it?

The folks over at planetmule.com understand those concerns and better yet, they’ve addressed them. Check out this… checklist of M.U.L.E. awesomeness!

So tell them all, M.U.L.E. is back, baby.

Now go get it!

*Editor’s note: Some people, if they looked really, really hard out there on the internet, might discover that this same post almost word for word appears on another website “straygamers.com”. Yes, I know. I wrote it there too.
