hey closer9...

I tried sending you a PM, but apparently I haven't been registered long enough to send a PM..

Anyway...what's that in your signature? I used to mud a lot ... like hardcore addicted. Where are you playing at?

Yep, you have to be registered for at least 90 days and have 100 posts to be able to use the PM feature.

I think you must have me confused. Up until a few days ago I had my '67 Belvedere and '77 El Camino in my sig...



But, since you asked... The Belvedere photo was taken at my wedding, and the Camino is sitting in the driveway of a friends house. I was taking pictures of his '67 Satellite trying to figure out a few things while reassembling my Belvedere, and just happened to look back at the Camino and snap a pic...

What's that? That's what I see in your signature.

edit: oh I don't mean like mud-bog....I meant the game...Multi-User-Dimension or whatever. Maybe that's something totally different. My bad.

I guess I was the confused one. You said "mud", and I only know of one type of mudding, especially since this is a truck site...

But anyway, that's Zork. Probably the first computer game. It was entirely text. You entered simple commands to play... east, west, north, south, up, down to move, etc...

You can download it free off the net. There are three versions. If I remember correctly they were all one game to begin with , but too big for PC's of the time. The game was developed at MIT in 1979 I believe... I don't think they ever intended for it to go commercial, but it was a pretty big hit in the early 80's...

Its really a lot of fun. You should give it a try. Its kinda like reading a book even though you've got a good TV/DVD player... They made a graphic version of Zork, but I never gave it a shot...

EDIT: you can download them here: http://www.infocom-if.org/downloads/downloads.html

Cool man, thanks. Yeah I think about 10 years ago I used to play a game really similar to that and haven't seen one in ages. It looks fun though haha. All my friends used to make fun of me for playing that with no graphics or anything lol.

I use to play MUDs back in high school. I even programmed new areas as a staff member but I dont remember what the game was called.

You should check out

Closer, are you implying that you refuse to take the Belvedere out "muddin"?

If you get it stuck, I'm sure someone would tie a chain around some front suspension part and yank it out of the mud hole.
