MUD (Multi User Dungeon) used to be the name for MMO until Richard Garriott decided to call it something else. Now it's mostly used to describe an MMORPG that's mainly all text based.
Does anyone here play them? (Or used to?).
I used to play some back in the early 90s and would love to get deep into one (or a few) again. Looking for recommendations. I would rather get opinions from people here, rather than those silly reddit users. :lol:
I also can't seem to find any good text-based single player RPGs (which is why I wrote my own out of desperation, in my sig), which don't fall into the Roguelike category, or the IF category so Nethack and Zork do not count, more like something in-between. Anyone know of any? They're usually REALLY obscure if you can even find one. The closest I could find was:

Which is actually a MUD converted to single player.
