- FYI, MUSH stands for Multiple User Shared Hallucination.
- MUSHs are a type of online game using unix and telnet. In some ways its a lot
- like a mulitple player version the old Infocom text adventure games, with
- programming thrown in to make things fun. There are a lot of them out there
- based on a wide variety of things ranging from pure hack and slash D&D type ones
- to purely social ones, which MythMUSH would probably be more like.
-
- For more info try checking out rec.games.mud.announce, it has FAQ postings and
- a list of most of the public MU*s.
