I'm just too excited to share this news!
MUD1 Source soon (i hope) to be released!

MUD1!!!!!!! THE BEGINNING!!! Maybe a FUSS project?

ayuri

You know... that would be a really cool project.

What language was it written in? Pascal?

I'd be very tempted to try to (1) make it work, and then (2) convert it to something like ruby, python, or perl... because compiled langauges are less fun.

No, according to the all knowing wiki its wrote n MACRO-10 assembly language, for the PDP-10. Now the nifty thing is I should have access to an HP OpenVMS box, once the upgrade is complete to our new Itanium host. The Alpha architecture is based off the PDP-11....So maybe, if I can get it home I'll see what can be done!
As to actually running the game, something like SIMH might be the way to go.

For those who have ever been curious about what goes into a full graphical MMO, I recently found this...

https://github.com/Meridian59/Meridian59

The source code to the original Merdian 59, usually credited as the first graphical MMO, and apparently updated to mostly compile using visual studio. Neat.
