  • M.U.L.E

    From KK4QBN@KK4QBN to All on Sat Nov 11 04:42:49 2017
    Anyone remember the old PC/Nintendo game M.U.L.E? It would be nice to have a BBS Realtime multiplayer version that either relied on JSON, think mail transit would progress the game to slowly.. Idunno..

    I grew up with that game and loved it.. Besides going to flea markets, etc with my dad, it tought me a lot of marketing startegy.. It would be nice to stick to close to the same concept except maybe have better maps, and other creatures besides the dreaded wampus..

    maybe throw some options in there where folks can steal from each other, and can also shoot one another protecting their plots, booty (yea... but booty and mining booty) maybe a mix between some aspects of BRE and MULE..

    Would make a great JS game..

    wish I had the skill to do it..

    Yea, I wish I had the skills too. My softeare development skills has been, primarily, around enterprise business software. Games is a whole
    different realm.

    ANSI..

    Why?

    Because it was a cool trading game from my childhood..

    and should be a very very easy game to create in JS.

    pro's outweigh the cons.. (for me.)

    MULE is a true classic. You'd have to figure out a way to make it work asynchronously (the bidding portion) but other than that it could be great
    fun.

    Agreed, and something is strange about your message, do you have this echo marked as QWK networked, you are not showing any sort of tagline, or anyhing, it almost appears as if the message was posted locally but as we can all see it came from VERT/DS94.

    Is it fixed now? I forgot to change a setting in Mystic when I was tweaking
    the QWK networking.
