Aardwolf is another good one... It's a text based mmorpg (MUD), and it's actualy rather popular.... Average 400-500 people on at any given time... It's pretty fun when you're bored...

 

Zork!

I used to be a huge MajorMUD fan back in the bbs days...

 

hell yeah, Zork was sooo dope.

 

I remember playing a text game THE FARMERS DAUGHTER on my Commodore 64....

Actually played one of the first text based games made available on the Internet back in 1978 based upon Star Trek. You played it on a teletype machine and connected via a modem where you would plug your phone into...

How's that for text based games? <grin>

 

i played discworld mud for years.

 

Sounds awesome....... Is it still available anywhere that you know of?

 

Not that I'm aware of. Not even sure where one would get a teletype anymore for that matter.

 

I hate that I never know about any of these things

 

I was a moderator on new age very briefly when it first started... weird

 

Trade wars

 

What is that game like anyway?

Just a bunch of text right?? (You type commands to go places,etc?)

 

no, not really. just click around, "do" things... battle other people. it was pretty boring.

 

Here's a decent mafia game that just started up in Jan.
