PLAY HUNDREDS OF INTERNET GAMES WITH zMUD

Zugg Software has released version 5.55 of zMUD, a Windows-based software package that allows you to play Multi-User Dungeon (MUD) games on the Internet. At its core, zMUD is a programmable Telnet client, used to login to remote computer systems. The extensive scripting language in zMUD allows MUD players to create their own commands, assign commands to keyboard macros, or even create their own automated avatars. Every feature in zMUD can be customized.

zMUD is also easy to use for the first-time or novice MUD player. Simply select a MUD game from the included list of all MUDs on the Internet, click Connect, and you are ready to interact with hundreds of other players in the rich, online gaming worlds known as MUDs.

A unique Automapper creates a graphical map of the MUD as you move around and play. Programmers can use the zMUD Developer's Kit (available separately) to create customized plugins for zMUD, extending its commands and features. zMUD implements the MUD Sound Protocol (MSP), adding music and sound effects to the text-based MUD games. zMUD is VT100 and ANSI compliant, and contains built-in support for telnet or SOCKS proxy servers. zMUD version 5.55 is Y2K compliant. zMUD is available for Windows 95/98/NT.

zMUD costs $25, with all future versions and upgrades available for free. zMUD is available for immediate download from Zugg Software at http://www.zuggsoft.com/.
