Hi Dennis.
Interactive Fiction AKA Text Adventures are totally different to Mud's as I
understand it, where Mud's are primarily based on exploration with other
players, stat building, combat at and the like, I don't think they'd be a
fit for the archive. Text adventures do share some MUD like elements but
they are their own genre in their own right, though we are seeing
multiplayer applications becoming more mainstream for these games though in
a different way to MUD's.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [Audyssey] IF Archive
I recently saw mention of the "I F Archive", so I checked it out. I
actually didn't even know it existed; if you like I F and you haven't
been there, I recommend it.
Naturally, I went looking for MUD related information, and while
there's a couple of MUDs listed, they seem to be used more as chat
rooms and hangout zones than games. My question is: does it make
sense to try to expand out a section for MUDs in general on the
archive?
I haven't really been able to convince myself that it's a good idea.
MUDs are related, but not really the same thing as I F. However, the
archive seems to be extremely open and diverse, and maybe the managers
think differently.
Is it worth trying?
