the text-based MUDs of old

Hey now, text-based MUDs are not yet obsolete. There are quite a few folks out there playing them. Most often, they are free, they do not put viruses or DRM on your computer, and they work for the folks who are trying to play online computer games out in the boonies with low bandwidth.

One thing's for sure though; they ain't new-fangled!

I definitely clocked a lot of hours on Magrathea MUD back in 2003-ish on my 486 over dialup. Ah, memories!
