NAME:             M.U.L.E. (unreleased)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Ozark Software/Electronic Arts
RELEASED:         1993

LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          The theory is simple enough - assume the role of one of
                  several spacefaring races and attempt to gain control of
                  a space colony through resouce management.  The execution
                  is not so easy, though, as the other colonist compete
                  with you in a cut-throat competition of land grabs, price
                  wars, and downright nasty power politics.  An update of
                  the Commodore 64 original by the author himself, the
                  legendary (and now deceased) Dan Bunten.

IMPRESSIONS:      "I almost got a Sega Genesis version through EA in 1993,
                  but at the alpha phase they insisted on adding guns and
                  bombs (or something similar) to "bring it up to date."
                  I was unable to comply." (Dan Bunten, from the GrubSoft
                  interview)

                  It's been generally assumed from the late Mr. Bunten's
                  interview that the alpha copy for M.U.L.E. still exists,
                  but has yet to see the light of day.  Others were
                  apparently willing to listen, and ports are available for
                  other systems (the NES in particular).
