Two Wolves

I missed a DiffEQ exam once, because I was addicted to this LP-MUD back in '93. It was accessed by a VAX terminal. Shadow's Edge alien.sapien.net 206.30.232.22 4000
In a MUD you maneuver on a map, fight monsters, die, return to resurrect then go back to recover items from your corpse. Come to think of it, UO seemes to be a lot like a MUD but with a 'mostly' graphical interface. Even the 'voice' commands where similar, "bank", "vendor buy" and so forth. People also wrote macros for getting around quickly. In this way you could type the name of a map location instead of typing s,e,e,e,e,e,n,e,n,n,n,n,n,climb up,e,n,w,open, w, w, attack
