&gt; -----Original Message-----
&gt; From: Marian Griffith [<A  HREF="mailto:gryphon#iaehv,nl">mailto:gryphon#iaehv,nl</A>]
&gt; Sent: Monday, June 21, 1999 3:45 PM
&gt; To: Mud Dev Mailing list
&gt; Subject: [MUD-Dev] Critiquing Muds
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; Game Critique
&gt; 
&gt; On his website Raph Koster rightly complains that in the 
&gt; world muds there
&gt; is a great lack of critique. There is a certain level of 
&gt; (amateur) review
&gt; going on through the Mud Connector and the Game Commando's. 
&gt; These reviews
&gt; tell potential players which are possibly interesting games 
&gt; for them.  It
&gt; does not tell which are actually quality games. Works of art 
&gt; if you will.

The specific bit of writing that Marian may be referring to is at:

  <A  HREF="http://mud.sig.net/raph/gaming/games-as-art.html">http://mud.sig.net/raph/gaming/games-as-art.html</A>

and also offers some simple metrics for evaluating muds.

Nice post, Marian. :)

-Raph
