M.U.L.E. – R.E.D.U.X.
p2pnet news view | Games:- “M.U.L.E. is a seminal multiplayer video game by Ozark Softscape. It was published in 1983 by Electronic Arts. It was originally written for the Atari 400/800, and was later ported to the Commodore 64, the Nintendo Entertainment System and the IBM PC Jr.[1] While it plays like a strategy game, it incorporates aspects that simulate economics.”
So says the Wikipedia, going on:
“Set on the fictional planet Irata (which is Atari backwards), the game is an exercise in supply and demand economics involving competition among four players, with computer opponents automatically filling in for any missing players.”
It went away, but now it’s back on Planet M.U.L.E. !
“Planet M.U.L.E. is a free remake and tribute to the 26 years old original game M.U.L.E. from Dan Bunten/Ozark Softscape,” says the site.
Produced by Blue Systems, it was developed by Turborilla with graphics by Sven Ruthner, and sound by Audio Alliance, it says, featuring a pic (below) of the original crew.
