It sure does! Does anyone remember MUDs? Some of those boggled the mind with how creative some folks can be with text and symbols. Good times, great memories from back before being a nerd was en vogue.

MajorMUD! Also, for anyone interested in MUME (Multi-Users in Middle Earth), a Tolkein-based MUD running since 1992, albeit via telnet and not as a BBS door game... It is still running, all these years later [0]. [0] http://mume.org http://mume.org

  MajorMUD was a huge part of my youth and an introduction to programming via scripting it.

    I'm working on websocket MUD based on MajorMUD in Elixir. There are quite a few people actively building new mud engines in modern languages in 2018. There's even a community with a slack org / newsletter etc at https://mudcoders.com/ https://mudcoders.com/

Certainly do! Some of the oldest and most creative of the MUDs are still in operation, and still being continually updated. One still-running DIKUmud that is still in operation and is absolutely amazing in regards to the ~25 years of constant evolution is Duris Mud. If you have any interest in MUDs or MUD programming its definitely worth checking out. http://www.durismud.com/ http://www.durismud.com/ or telnet to mud.durismud.com 7777
