You'll never guess what I found while I was randomly wandering the 'net tonight. ... well, okay, the topic is a bit of a give-away. But for those who don't know what this is, you might find it interesting!
Give up? It's a remake of the old Commodore 64 and NES classic, M.U.L.E. by Electronic Arts! "What is M.U.L.E.," you ask? Why, it's only the most awesome turn-based economic-driven co-op/competitive strategy game ever developed! Created in 1983, M.U.L.E. is a game about (up to) four space colonists of varying species landing on the remote planet of Irata in order to colonize it. The colonists can work together to build a utopia, or they can work against each other to make their own idealistic places on this planet. If I had to compare it to something, it's like a combination of Monopoly and... I'm not sure. Some sort of game about grabbing land, I guess?
The game's unique gameplay has been duplicated time and time again, yet there was really never a sequel or spiritual successor... Only recently did I find out that a modern remake, Planet M.U.L.E., turns the classic console and computer game you (might) know and love and gives it a modern feel! The core gameplay is essentially same, but now you can play with people from across the globe instead of across the couch! How cool is that? Best of all, the game runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, so no one gets left out of all the fun!
Give it a try! It's free. And it's a classic piece of gaming history!
I really need to stop writing these forum threads like advertisements...
