I am posting this message in the hope that the person who bought it would read this and get in contact with me, either using this website or contacting me via email: webmaster at worldofmule dot net. The IBM PCjr version of the game, developed by IBM (!), is incredibly rare, and the only "original" M.U.L.E. game which you can NOT play on an emulator yet because the original disk has not been copied yet to a modern PC file format. It would be a great service to the M.U.L.E. community if that game could be dumped and played on emulators.

Read about the various classic M.U.L.E. versions, including the IBM PCjr. one, here.

Regards and happy planet-mule'ing (you can find me there as "Eidolon"),

Be sure to have a look and leave some nice comments in the guestbook! :-)

Melanie Bunten Stark (Dan Bunten's daughter) informed the WoM community that a M.U.L.E. remake is underway, probably out this summer. Tell your friends and family and be on the lookout. If you have questions, you may email Melanie at

This is wonderful news! Let's discuss it in the WoM forums... :-)

]]> Goethe Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:03:00 +0100 http://www.worldofmule.net/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=30 this article from Retro Remakes. Some guys have began programming M.U.L.E. for the ZX Spectrum! Isn't that funny... Nowadays everyone is yearning for a version of M.U.L.E. for XBox 360, Wii or PlayStation? 3, and they chose a computer even older than the Atari 800. That's what I call real retro gaming enthusiasm. ;-) Good luck to the team! I am looking forward to posting more news about the project here.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh, and please don't forget that you can use the WoM's calendar system to make appointments for online games - now M.U.L.E. online gaming is possible with the emulated Atari version ('quite' stable with the Kaillera framework, emulated C64 version (experimental with the new Vice version 1.21), and UBeR's new remake, using its own netplay framework!

March really is like MULE player heaven - too bad I personally can't enjoy it that much (yet), as I am busy in real life preparing a job-related move from Germany to Switzerland.

Kind regards and happy MULE'ing,
Goethe

This February at the D.I.C.E. Summit she will be joining a very short list of previous inductees that reads like a who's who of game development.

Sid Meier will be presenting the award.
Jim Rushing (of Ozark Softscape fame, one of the co-creators of M.U.L.E. and nowadays working at Electronic Arts) will be accepting the award on her behalf.

If anyone deserves to be admitted, it is a visionary like Dani Bunten, whose commendable dedication to expanding video gaming into a social activity, even if over vast distances through the use of modems, rather than a solitary one, spent alone in the dark, is as yet unmatched. Video games still have a long way to go, and while she may have been disappointed in the level of violence in many of today's games, the success of games like Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft, have proved that video games can be an excellent way for people to get together and socialize. Dani Bunten was radically ahead of her time exploring these possibilities.

Congratulations to Dani on achieving such well deserved recognition by the AIAS for her accomplishments in the industry, and the inspiration she's given to so many others. How unfortunate that she can not be so honored in person. Dani, you are missed, and will be remembered forever for your contributions to video gaming.

]]> Goethe Thu, 04 Jan 2007 20:06:00 +0100 http://www.worldofmule.net/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=1 internet community platform for all M.U.L.E. fans.

This is my bow before Dani Bunten, honoring her vision of computer games as a means to bring people together instead of being a hobby for lonely geeks. That vision sounds commonplace? Keep in mind that she formulated that vision in 1982, years before the internet came by!

With the opening of the new site, I didn't yet find time to migrate all the old site's content, but try to compensate by adding some brand new exclusive content:

• An extensive report on the alpha version of Son of M.U.L.E. game for the Genesis, a M.U.L.E. successor that unfortunately never got published
• A vocal interpretation of the M.U.L.E. title theme made by the Swedish a capella band "Visa Röster"
• A short story about the life on Irata (written by myself), trying to capture the spirit of M.U.L.E.

If you like M.U.L.E., please register on this site. You will be kept up to date on events in the M.U.L.E. world. Don't forget to put in your google earth location as well, and maybe post a short introduction in the forums at the appropriate place.

Since a few months, it has become possible to play the classic Atari 800 M.U.L.E. game with four human players via the internet. My good friend Adam runs a site dedicated to this cause. You can make good use my site's calendar function to make appointments for online M.U.L.E. tournaments.

The World of M.U.L.E. website is also the perfect place to start new projects related to M.U.L.E., thanks to the site's "Wiki" features.
Fan art, articles, reverse engineering efforts, development efforts... If you would like to contribute to this website by becoming an Author, please let me know!

But now, enjoy browsing the new World of M.U.L.E.! I hope you like it - I'd appreciate if you left some feedback in the site's forums.

Kind regards,
Goethe

Lots of new, interesting material got into my hands since the last update, and lots of new stories are to tell... Please bear with me until my vacation time in mid-December to bring all this online; before that, I'm just too busy with my job.
