Multi-User Dungeons, or MUDs, were some of the first multiplayer |
|
|
|
online games. The game called MUD was the invention of Roy Trubshaw |
|
|
|
and Richard Bartle, but a bewildering variety of clones emerged over |
|
|
|
time: AberMUD, DikuMUD, MOOs, MUSHes, and more. In addition to |
|
|
|
gathering documentation on MUD history, the ESS plans to host active |
|
|
|
MUDs. |

AberMUD |
|
|
|
------- |
|
|
|
AberMUD was the first open source MUD. A number of versions were |
|
|
|
released over the years, but it was primarily developed by Alan |
|
|
|
Cox, a name which is well known amongst the open source |
|
|
|
community. Among other things he was the maintainer of the 2.2 branch |
|
|
|
of the Linux kernel. |
