I loved playing c64 M.U.L.E. 4-player joystick setup.
I suppose revivals Of the game on modern platform would lose some of original’s pleasure.
The auction UI was very clever.
The original runs great on a Raspberry Pi using VICE. I recommend this version: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=101455 which lets you play with 4 joysticks instead of having to share a keyboard.
Oh man. I may need to build a M.U.L.E. station.
I would not call it a remake, but Offworld Trading Company seems to be a similar. It even has MULEs, so I guess it's not an accident.
To this day, I can say "doompa choompa doompa choompa doompa choompa choompa choompa" and my brothers and father will know exactly what I'm talking about.
M.U.L.E is actually the first game EA published ( 1983 )
