MUSH Clients
Here are MUSH clients that first-time users can download, in order to connect to our game. Most computers have some sort of raw telnet program, but that isn't what you want to use to MUSH.
Windows
- MUSHClient
MUSHClient Website
This is also a popular client, and it's probably one of the most regularly updated. Used to be a pay client, is completely free now, and has a variety of nifty features.
- BeipMU*
BeipMU Website
This is a popular client, though it doesn't have as many features as other clients. However, on the upside, it's not as complex and has many useful features, and many people use it and swear by it. Plus? It's free.
- SimpleMU*
SimpleMU Website
This is a relatively simple client to get used to. While it claims to be shareware, it will Mildly Nag at you for thirty days and then pretty much leave you alone. There are options to even turn off the nag screen. If you do obtain a full, legal copy of it, you get some additional features that are kind of handy, but hardly necessary to get the job done.
- MUCKclient
MUCKClient Website
This is a very simple client, and does not have a wide variety of features to it. If you're really seriously just looking to 'press button, receive MUSH', this is not a bad one to start.
- Mudlet
Mudlet Website
Simple to use and fast MUD client. Runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Give it a try to see what it can do.
- PotatoMUSH
PotatoMUSH Website
A graphical MUSH/MUD client for Windows and Linux.
Mac OS
- Atlantis
Atlantis Website
This is the one many Mac users swear by. As I don't /have/ a Mac, I can't tell you if it's really that great, but it's supposed to be, so give it a try?
- Savitar
Savitar Website
Some people seem to use this one, so give it a try?
- Huge List Here
A list of clients
I suspect this list is a little terrifying if you're new to MUSHes, so please try the top two first, and if they blow up, click these at random?

Linux
- Kmuddy
Kmuddy Website
Relatively simple client, comes with a binary so you don't have to compile it, all around good times. Has a variety of basic functions to make your life simpler and easier! :D!
- Kildclient
Kildclient
Also a very userfriendly client, if you have troubles with KMuddy for some reason.
- TinyFugue
TinyFugue Website
Only recommended if you already use Linux, so the concept of 'inordinate amounts of front end effort for maximum end-use benefit' doesn't particularly faze you. Requires ridiculous setup to get going in any rational sense, but can do basically anything once you get it running.
