Hi Steve,

M.U.L.E. was undoubtedly the best four-joystick game ever made for the
Atari (if you have an old 800), and ranks among the best (IMHO) of all
games written for the Atari.  Its a market simulation game, where players
compete with each other for land, M.U.L.E.'s, and money in an effort to
become "First Founder" (the one worth the most in a successful colony).
Its *very* well designed and playtested, the user interface is well
thought-out, and the game play is such that poor players get a "helping
hand" with random events.  Scan Antic magazine advertising for possible
dealers with some stock left.  I'll ask some old users if they're willing
to sell their copies.
