Hall of Fame Game M.U.L.E. To Be Ported To PC

Posted by Hemos on from the not-the-man-from dept.

    M.U.L.E. is truly one of my favorite things in the universe. (Hopefully Dani is in one of the places in heaven reserved for true genius.) This could signal the appearance of a new black hole in my schedule. I just hope they keep the same music.

    First of all - M.U.L.E. is one of the best games in history, just like NetHack or Civilization.

    You can find few clones in the net - but it's for DOS or Windows. I couldn't find any clone which will run in Linux. I thought about writing SDL clone myself, but this is a lot of work (the hardest parts for me is AI and drawing sprites) - and I am not sure if arcade parts should be still in game.

    Do you know any Open Source M.U.L.E. project I could join?
