Page "FurryMUCK" Paragraph 5

With TinyMUD's success a number of alternative systems derived from TinyMUD ’ s basic architecture emerged.

One of these variants was TinyMUCK, a program originally developed and released by Stephen White.

Piaw Na became interested in White ’ s TinyMUCK in 1990, and decided to implement Forth as the programming language for development within the environment.

The result was MUCK Forth ( MUF ), as implemented in TinyMUCK 2. 0, which became the core to Na ’ s short-lived AtlantisMUCK, which was launched in 1990.

AtlantisMUCK grew to be " tremendously popular ", but was shut down in August of that year.

Nevertheless, by that time copies of Na ’ s code had spread, and by late 1990, FurryMUCK had been released using Na ’ s version of TinyMUCK.
