How to play this game today

The quickest way play the game is to make use of the Archive.org C64 software library. Archive.org hosts a web-based C64 emulator running directly inside your internet browser. However, you can’t use a joystick (or even four), so you have to play with the keyboard.

Also – good for the PAL country fans, bad for the NTSC country fans – the emulator runs with PAL speed. So e.g. all U.S.-based fans will feel the game runs too slow.

The other options are the following. In order not to clutter this page too much, I have moved the content to separate pages:

  • Play it on a real C64. For this, you need either one of two versions of the game in the download section
    • the original disk image
    • a version of M.U.L.E. from 2011 which adds support for the C64 four-player adapter, attached to the C64’s user port. With this version, you can play M.U.L.E. on the C64 like on the Atari 400/800 – with four joysticks!
  • Emulating C64 M.U.L.E. on modern PCs. Even online play is possible, if you are a bit versed in computer and network administration.
