    Kid, shut up and learn. Quit arguing your points like a child. Your PC at these times can only do beeps and only had 1 color (green). The other was black. Also, alot of the PC games are hardly more than clones of each
    other. Lack of originality. As a matter of fact, it is essentially the same game with slightly different looking buildings and enemies but they look essentially the same. I really like to see more original games. There is 3 basic styles of how games are made these days for the most part. DOOM style but more color and higher resolution, the Final Fantasy X style game play,
    and 3d Simulation for Race Car games & Aircraft games. The first two is
    the most promidant. Some of the FRPG has more of a early Playstation style FRPG. This really isn't that diverse. Thinking about 16 Million colors. So what.

    That didn't even register a .1 on the troll-o-meter.

    The lame trolling attempt on your part aside, M.U.L.E. was a great game for
    its day and I still find replay value in it now from time to time (if I
    could only find the disk again!). In the early 1980s, we had no clue what computers would be like now 20 years later. Your flaming of M.U.L.E. would
    be like someone coming into the newsgroups 20 years from now and flaming a current game that you really like.

    Oh yes, back in 1985, I was doing quite well with my Atari 600XL (expanded
    to 64K) and 127K 5.25" disk drive (model Atari 1050). Also, I even had a
    tape drive, model Atari 1010. Add to that an XM301 300 baud modem a year later.

    Ouch, I really hope Dani Buten does not hear this wherever she is now :-(
    Man you really are an ignorant, this game basically set the standards for strategy games 20 years ago out of nowhere. It basically invented the basic mechanisms, while most games nowadays are just clones of each other this
    game was a strike of a genious, there basically was nothing you could copy
    when this game was created. To ignore this basically just means you simply
    are an idiot not even worth touching the works of Dani Bunten.
    (I still can remember seven cities of gold and how far advanced it was for
    its time, the first game which came close and maybe surpassed it in this
    genre was civilization, but seven cities of gold has to be rated much
    higher in my opinion due to the fact that it basically was the first game
    of its kind on the computer, besides that a technical masterpiece given the limits of early eighties computer technolgy.

    In this case a troll wo rides ignorantly on the achievements of death
    people. I wonder if he even was able to achieve one percent of gaming
    concepts dani bunten invented.

    Heh, it was good for making music. :-) I almost bought an Amiga 500 once
    but decided not to because of features or lack thereof.

    Ah the real way to play it was on an Atari 400 that had a key board that
    didn't even have real keys but just these plastic sort of pda pushing
    things. Some nice wine and a joint and a healthy respect for the wumpuss!

    Actually, I do have an Atari 400 with the original flat keyboard. It could
    be a collector's item at some point but I couldn't imagine ever seriously
    using such a keyboard in the first place! I guess it would have given incentive for someone to buy the 800 instead!

    eww I remember those keyboards...wonder what Atari genius came up with
    those. They were awful! And I did buy the 800 for just that reason! :)
