I played SX MUD.
Zork et al were based on the original Adventure and Caverns games, not
SX MUD. They acutally ahve almost *no* realtion to the world of SX
MUD at all.
SX MUD was very much a multi-user realtime game (ie a real MUD), with
typically over 50 players on dialup lines of a weekend with another 20
or 30 on hard-wired terminals at Essex University.
