Not all schools provide computing facilities for gaming.  PBM games over
Internet don't take up any local system resources.

Besides, the PBM game that I play (Galaxy) has nothing at all to do
with MUDs, and would be very difficult to emulate over a MUD.  You
would in effect have to do it through MUD mail.  It's a strategy, conquer-
the-galaxy type game.
