Pac-Man reinvented as a MUD
I’ve seen Pong as a text adventure. I’ve even seen Pac-Man as a text adventure. But—this one was totally new to me—what about Pac-Man as a MUD?
The Pac-Man Dungeons calls itself “interactive fiction,” but it’s a classic MUD, through and through, right down to the fake telnet window (“You may chat with a ghost that is not more than 2 steps away,” the help file dutifully instructs).
Adorable.

The amount of dedication these guys/gals (and g/g like them) have are incredible. Why do this? Because you’re insanely nuts about pac-man, and MUDs?
Yeah.
