I was addicted to, of all things, text MUDs, when I was younger. It's ditch weed compared to what you can get now.

My drug of choice was “Wyvern” by Steve Yegge, which was heavily influenced by MUDs despite being graphical: https://web.archive.org/web/20040102095422/http://www.caboch...

You could connect to it with just telnet, and while not realistically playable that way, it was great when just chatting.

Dark Castle here. DIKU based MUD. Ah the good stuff.
