JIG writes: "How people found the time back in 1983 to create a game between fending off dinosaurs and foraging for fruits and berries I'll never know, but the game of M.U.L.E. not only wound up being very good, it also wound up being a very influential multiplayer video game. M.U.L.E. is a turn-based strategy game of economics where 4 players compete to colonize an alien world for profit and the good of all human-and-alien-kind. Of course, these days, very few people still possess Atari 400/800 systems, let alone enough people willing to be seen with them to play a game on it."
The classic strategy game M.U.L.E. has been remade as a free-to-play online experience. Ars speaks with the developers behind the remake to find out how the project came about and what fans can expect.

Normally, we like to showcase smaller, bite-sized games here. Typically a platformer or some sort of mild-adventure game. A nice smooth game to help ease the week by. However, today we are gonna throw something at you that's a bit different, requires a little more thinking, but, in turn, can also provide you with much more entertainment. This week's midweek freeplay pick is: Planet M.U.L.E."
