Title: M.U.L.E. inspired by two Robert A. Heinlein books Post by: C64 nostalgia on September 16, 2010, 01:26 Anyone read, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress or Time Enough for Love? Apparently, they inspired parts of a game we love called M.U.L.E.

I am curious if anyone has, and what they think of the books. Most importantly, I wonder if readers see connections to M.U.L.E. Title: Re: M.U.L.E. inspired by two Robert A. Heinlein books Post by: leahcim99 on September 16, 2010, 21:05 Here's an idea for you c64 nostaligia - buy the books. ;D
I plan on visiting my local library and used book store to see if I can get copies of them - I will let you know if I get my hands on them :D ;) Title: Re: M.U.L.E. inspired by two Robert A.

Heinlein books Post by: dynadan on September 21, 2010, 06:59 Heinlein is one of the greatest sci-fi writers ever. I have read both books. The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress was one of my favorite books in high school. It's not very long and of the 2 that's the one I would read to find the MULE references. Time Enough For Love was written when he was older (and generally regarded as being slightly crazier) It is a much longer book and I forget a lot of the plot now because it has been a lot of years, but i don't think there has ever been a bad Heinlein book. He is such a great writer that even though his books are from the 1940's - 1980's and his view of the future was wrong in a lot of places they still hold up really well.
