One of my favorite video games from my childhood was a strategy game for my Commodore 64 called M.U.L.E. In fact, when I wrote about an online C64 emulator two years ago, I ended with the question "Does anybody remember M.U.L.E.?" Evidently, they do, and they loved it as much as I did.
Today I discovered Planet M.U.L.E., a free remake and tribute to the original game and its designers. And what a remake! Somehow Planet M.U.L.E. has managed to update the game with better graphics and sound, and yet still keep the simple charm of the original.
The game is not a clone, or a take-off on M.U.L.E.; it's a faithful remake that replicates the fun of the original game while adding in online multiplayer functionality. And amazingly, it's available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux!
If you remember M.U.L.E. and would like to relive the fun of colonizing planet Irata, you have to drop everything and head over to Planet M.U.L.E. now. And if you don't remember the original, but are open to playing a classic game that promises great strategic gameplay, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
Classic strategy game M.U.L.E. comes back to life as Planet M.U.L.E. originally appeared on Download Squad on Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
