- Shieet that reminds me of that great ole Atari [he shudders] game M.U.L.E., you
- know the one where you had up to 4 players and ypou had to prospect for certain
- minerals, grow food, generate electricity, and play the market ... well it was
- one swell game, especially when four humans were playing.
- The world that the game was based on was called IRATA [atari backwards ... gos
- how clever!]
