A long time ago I wanted to port Quake 3 to a MUD. Like literally play Longest Yard or another map.

    "You enter a room. xxxSniperKid82xxx is in the room holding a railgun."

$ "Equip rocket launcher."

    "You equip the rocket launcher."

    "xxxSniperKid82xxx approaches you with a buzzsaw glove."

$ "Fire rocket launcher at xxxSniperKid82xxx"

    "You fire the rocket launcher at xxxSniperKid82xxx. It misses. You take splash damage."
