    Growing up, one of my best friends parents set us up with a terminal MUD connection. Basically an old school, text based only MMO. You had to type in your commands, “look north”, “walk east”, “attack <enemy name>”. I was able to make a Sayian character, walk around town and Kamehameha my foes. I recall finding Smurf village and getting killed many times by Papa Smurf.

    I wish I remembered what server it was or if any even exist any more.

      I’ve been running one of these since 2009, it’s a ton of fun. No saiyans or smurfs though

      I remember on igorMUD we had inter Igor ballistic aardvarks

      MUDs and MOOs were quite fun. I played at University as I didn’t have internet at home then, only BBSes
