single user MUD-type text adventure

Considering that MUD stands for Multi User Dungeon, what exactly is a "single user MUD-type text adventure"? How is it different from a "single user text adventure", or just a "text adventure"?

I meant that it's supposed to look MUD-ish. Perhaps I could have worded it better.	[reply]

That's a bit like saying a real airplane is supposed to look like a model airplane. {grin} Really. Adventure-style games predated MUDs by about, oh, 20 years. Might as well describe it like it is, not like what it isn't. Kids today, oy! -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]
