M.U.L.E.

Released by BPS in 1987, M.U.L.E. is a landmark strategy simulation game that allows multiple players to colonize and develop a primitive planet. Players utilize "M.U.L.E." robots to produce resources and maximize their wealth through a dynamic, player-driven auction market. Beyond a simple land-grab, the game features a sophisticated economic system where cooperation and negotiation directly shape the outcome, offering a board game-like experience that remains compelling to this day.

Settlers who have landed on the frontier planet "II-XSM" are tasked with taming the harsh wilderness using versatile "M.U.L.E." robots. Players must compete against fellow colonists to efficiently produce food, energy, and ore, all while working toward building the planet's economic foundation. Over a limited period, you must navigate market fluctuations and interpersonal maneuvering to prove who can become the most successful developer and amass the greatest fortune.
