Can you name a game that is older than NetHack and still in active development? I can't.

Can you name a game that is older than NetHack and still in active development? I can't.
- kibwen 5mo agoWikipedia's historical list of MUDs ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MUDs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MUDs ) suggests that MUD1 (1978, homepage: https://www.british-legends.com/CMS/ https://www.british-legends.com/CMS/ ) and MUD2 (1985, homepage: https://www.mud2.com/CMS/index.php https://www.mud2.com/CMS/index.php ) might still be active. From what I can tell their codebases are pretty light on substantial updates in recent years, but then again Nethack was at point considered abandoned for about a decade.
- anthk 5mo agoYou forgot the forks like Slashem and the like, which were born from Nethack 3.4.3.

- boomlinde 5mo agoMy understanding is that UMoria is an independent, complete remake of the original Moria. NetHack on the other hand is the same project with the same codebase throughout its history. With that in mind, NetHack is a few months older than the Moria still under development today. Not to say that this is necessarily the right way to look at it. It's not clear-cut, is what I'm saying.
