What is a MUSH ?
A MUSH is a derivated type of game from MUDs. MUDs were multiplayers RPG in text mode back in the 90’s. MUSH allows players to create the world they explore. Players added themselves new rooms, items and environment to the game for other players to see and use.
In Distant Dials you have to wrote text freely to move on, only a few answers are “good” for some parts of the game. Otherwise, the game is created for player’s interactions. So it’s a MUSH of some sort…
