1  M.U.L.E. Community / Player Introduction / Re: When did you first get sucked in to this game? on: December 20, 2009, 22:37
I had the Atari 800 as well, and at that time in high school, we were also playing Diplomacy and Dune nearly every weekend. So most of our MULE games were cutthroat, with the colony "barely surviving" ... how else can you sell your opponents a few units of energy at over $200/ea?  Play often saw use of the "collusion" feature.

Like economic games in general. Used to play a lot of 1830 and these days its the occasional game of Power Grid. However, most my gaming now is 2-player wargaming. Maybe with MULE online that will change a bit?

My Dad owned an Atari 800 with 4 joysticks.  I remember the day he brought home M.U.L.E. (I was 8 years old then -- 34 years old now) it quickly became the favorite game for the 5 of us (Dad, 3 Brothers & Sister).  Not to mention all of our mutual friends!  

I think growing up we played this game more than any other game and I still have my Dad's working Atari 800 (and MULE).

PS: To this day M.U.L.E. holds the title of "My favorite game of all time".  I suspect it helps that I'm a big fan of German style board games, which M.U.L.E. reminds me of.
