Adventure or role-playing games or simulations (such as political campaigns, conferences, or creativity exercises) played on the Internet. Devotees call them "text-based virtual reality adventures." The games can feature fantasy combat, booby traps, and magic. Players interact in real time and can change the "world" in the game as they play it. Most MUDs are based on the Telnet protocol. MUDs can be an excellent interaction and learning tool, as advanced "wizards" must learn to program the underlying structures in order to create their own realities, but the popularity of the game can cause resource problems for network administrators.
