Daniel Thomas Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 How many fans of MULE do we have here? I'm still playing this game on the Atari800Win emulator on my PC. I wish there were a way to play this game online. It really would be perfect for that. Also, not to toot my own horn, but I have a review of MULE on my website. I hope everyone takes a visit and let me know what they think. I add a new "classics" review every week, just so you know. I think I may do Ballblazer next week, but I can't yet say for certain. Anyway, there ya go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 My Avatar says it all MULE was a great game - solo or multiplayer! Heres an article about the designer: http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2003/03/...nten/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 How many fans of MULE do we have here? I'm still playing this game on the Atari800Win emulator on my PC. I wish there were a way to play this game online. It really would be perfect for that. There is, I think. Version 3.1 of Atari800Win included network play... it would supposedly let you play multi-player games over the internet with each person using one of the four joystick ports. I haven't tried it yet, but I want to get a multi-player game of MULE going with some buddies soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I have never seen a screenshot of Mule .. only what I have read online .. How can I get to play Mule on my Atari 800? But I am hopelessly addicted to Crossfire (which I played back in the early 1980s). Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Whoa! I was about to post a Thread relating to MULE but since this thread is hot right now I might as well ask it in here. I just cant work out out to start the Atari 800 Version of MULE (I can start up the C64 version alright!). But the Atari 800 I cant get past the lovely cool title screen with the music. It says something like select Joystick or Paddles and then I select Stick and it does nothing but fiddling around it tells me not to move the Joystick while pressing the Fire Button. It just doesnt make sense. How to you start the game ? BTW. Im using AtariWinPlus with the cursor keys at my emulated joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Thomas Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 Well, I'm guessing that you're playing on an actual Atari computer and not an emulator. But if I'm mistaken, it shouldn't matter. First, make sure you have the joysticks plugged in; this is where you hope you have an Atari 800, which has 4 joystick ports. At the title screen, Option and Select are used to select the number of players and level of difficulty -- "tournament" is the one you want, as the other levels are merely practice for the real thing. When everything's ready, hit the joystick button. When you see "joystick" on the screen, that is the game acknowledging that you're now a player. When all the players have hit their buttons, you go to the next screen. On this screen, you are choosing colors, which cycle around. When you find the color you want, hit the button again. You get to choose one of the aliens to control -- use the flapper bird if you're a rookie, and the human if you're an expert, and the rest are all the same -- and you just use the stick and button for that. Easy as pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I really love about these emulators is the ability to play these games online. Why they aren't prepackaged with every computer is beyond me. Also, did everyone have a chance to see my review? Just curious what y'all thought. Also, this week's review is Zelda 3 (snes) -- I need a bit more info about Ballblazer before I write that one. Thanks a lot. www.danielthomas.org/pop/classics/mule.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
