The info is true, to the best of my knowledge. I know Martin and have worked with him on several video games. He called me when the publisher stopped payment on his check.

M.U.L.E. = Greatest Game Ever!

Only 1 Player classic so far, and the game has one extreme exploit;
Pick a unit, move it onto the enemy's unit.
Tap another of your units.
Voila, the enemy's unit is magically gone/dead, and you can go right ahead and move any unit of yours again.

I just beat the game on adept in 1 minute 42 with a single knight.
Maybe something to be fixed in v1.1?

Wow is this game awsome or what!!! I have waited years for this thing to be redone. I down loaded it last night and played it a few times then my kids took it away from me and i haven't been able to get it back... the younger generation is hooked too. Highly reccomend this game!!!

I'd pay whatever they asked if someone were to update M.U.L.E.

Okay, up to 7.99. But still.

1. also just purchased it, I am so happy
2. figured out how to control it:
when you want to move, then move
when you want to shoot, first move to the direction you want to shoot at. Second get your fingers out of the d-pad and than fire. That way you also master the diagonal shots, which otherwise (with your fingers always in the d-pad) become a little bit unpredictable.
3. I am missing the 2player mode via bluetoot, which is not in this version1.0

1. purchased it. Excellent, unlike many of the other remakes - particularly the in-game music. Highly recommended!

2. controlling is indeed VERY hard, which makes the game much-much harder than it ought to be. I *really* hope someone comes up with a decent external controller with a decent D-pad.

Please consider doing Archon II: Adept and M.U.L.E. as well!

Is the updated tune from the video in the game? Love it

I'm glad the graphics are updated: this game isn't just nostalgia for me, the actual game play is fun!

Anyway, if there were a retro mode, I'd want Amiga graphics, not the hard-core original pixellated ones that other people know and love.

A black background option (with the left-side color indicating the square color?) might be nice.

Enjoyable game. Nailed it except for difficulty needs to be increased. AI pretty easy on all difficulty settings.
