Dani Bunten's multiplayer trading game, M.U.L.E., is the best family-friendly multiplayer computer game ever designed. It combines the tension and excitement of arcade-style games with carefully balanced strategy and a wealth of zany humor. Although several later developers have tried to "update" it for later systems, none of them manage to capture the unique ambiance of the original. If you've never played M.U.L.E., then you've not only missed out on a masterpiece, but have likely failed to recognize just how powerfully a personal computer can bridge the generational gap and bring a family together. In 1983, Bunten showed us one path game developers could take--but it sadly became the road less-traveled. It's time to show this game some love!
