Just to point out, the Atari 8-bit version supports up to four players with four joysticks on the Atari 800 (the only model with four joystick ports standard), which is the best way to play full-bore multiplayer obviously. The NES version also supports four players with four gamepads on that system's 4 Score multitap. I have the latter version and while I made several attempts to play with my wife, I must say I never quite understood how to play properly. Since it's one of those "legendary" games, I WILL be making another attempt at "getting" it. MULE is ALWAYS in Top 100 of all-time lists and is always mentioned fondly by someone. Dan(i) Bunten experimented quite a bit with multiplayer in his games, though the biggest commercial success was no doubt MULE.
