When it comes to running such old-fashioned games, count me in.

I actually still do play some MUDs when I find the time.
I essentially grew up with MUDs, and have been playing since I was old
enough to use a keyboard...

And cross-linking some of the stuff to Gopher should be somehow
possible. After all, everything a MUD needs from user side is a telnet
connection, and if  I'm not entirely mistaken, Gopher has support for
some telnet itemtype...

Best regards,
