Reminiscing The Good Old Days

Have you ever had one of those nights were you decided to look up your old email addresses on google and see what would get returned? I got really bored after watching 20 minutes of infomercial, so I decided to start looking up my old online nicknames and email addresses on google.

So what did I find? I found this text based MUD (multi user dungeon) that my buddy James and I wrote back in our high school days named Tharsis Gate. I decided to telnet to the MUD and see if there's still any players there, and to my surprise, there were! I had fully expected all mudders to have moved on to real graphical RPG games like Everquest, but I guess some of them are still addicted to the text based world!

Here are a couple of the screen shots that I am linking from James' MMORPG page:

Anyways, so that's where I spent most of my after-school hours on back in the day, and that is why I am such a loser today.
