message: The Atari Home Computer version has an end-game typo on the highest score level (final colony score of 120,000+). "OVERALL, THE COLONY DELIGHTED THE FEDERATION WITH YOUR EXCEPTIONAL ACHIEVEMENT. YOUR RETIREMENT WILL BE LUXURIOU!" This is a step above "ELEGANT ESTATES". --Jmccorm 04:33, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since this game is out of print and was made for obsolete systems, I doubt adding a bugs section will be of much, if any, benefit.  IMHO, it would just add clutter to the article. — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:28, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't ever recall seeing that typo in the C-64 version. It's probably specific to the Atari version as different ports typically have different typos entirely. Jon 18:08, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I was just curious, but if we're going to get technical with the policies, I can call into question the statement that the theme music is "addictive" or "widely covered" until a citation from a reputable, neutral source has been provided. I've heard the song now though. It does sound interesting. I'd make my own remix of it and make it available here, but I suppose derivative work would be a copyright violation.

replies: text: I've cut "addictive" for having the wrong tone for a wiki article. I do agree it is an excelent theme song though. Jon 18:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a dispute over which versions of MULE support 4 players   .  I don't think that this really has any relevance to the description of M.U.L.E. itself, and so I feel it should be removed from the infobox.  I am pretty sure all versions of MULE support 4 players.  After all, the game is well known amongst old school 8-bit users as being [one of] the first 4 player multi-player computer game ever written.  Maybe they don't all support 4 joysticks, but I'm pretty sure they all support 4 players.  Blackbeard2k7 13:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  I remember that the C-64 also supported 4 players: 2 with joystick and 2 with keyboard.  I think the infobox should just say "up to 4 players" or perhaps "up to 4 players on some platforms" if there's a platform that didn't support 4. Jwolfe 16:31, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

text: At least for my benefit, can someone explain how it's possible for this game to support 4 players on the NES?  It's a system which has only two controller ports and no keyboard.  As far as the text in the article, I agree that something more vague can be used.  - Slordak 14:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Some consoles supported more players with splitters and the like.  I don't know if splitters were available for the NES or not. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 17:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Bunten was working on an Internet version of the game until her death in 1998. In 2005, a netplay component called Kaillera was integrated into the Atari800WinPlus emulator, enabling the original game to be played over the Internet.[5]

message: I had a pirated copy of M.U.L.E. as I suspect more than the 30,000 people who bought a copy did as stated in the article. I do not hav any statistics to quote, but I think that the practice of copying and/or downloading games is very relevant to the games of this ear and probably should be mentioned.

Someone please make a parody using these two youtube videos xD: watch?v=BtRnzlO7m_M and watch?v=p6L6MhSgpgo . (also, these two videos are worth watching: watch?v=cNZPRsrwumQ and watch?v=VXJZVZFRFJc )
:I added a link to Legged Squad Support System in the 'see also' section. It is a tangentially related topic, which is what those sections are for. Wikipedia isn't a forum, though, so this isn't the place to ask for videos. Grayfell (talk) 22:36, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

message: In the first section of this article, the following titles as Electronic Arts First Five:
* M.U.L.E. 
* Pinball Construction Set
* Archon: The Light and the Dark
* Worms?
* Hard Hat Mack
That is the first five titles to be published by Electronic Arts.
M.U.L.E. was one of the first five games published in 1983 by new company Electronic Arts, alongside Pinball Construction Set, Archon: The Light and the Dark, Worms?, and Hard Hat Mack.[2]
However the linked citation 
https://www.polygon.com/2013/5/21/4351144/30-years-ago-electronic-arts-shipped-its-first-batch-of-five-games
has no reference of Pinball Construction Set - instead replacing Pinball Construction Set with Axis Assassin.
EA's first lineup included Commodore 64 titles Archon: The Light and the Dark, Axis Assassin, Hard Hat Mack, Worms? and MULE.
Can this be confirmed - should the article be updated with Axis Assassin?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thegiz (talk • contribs) 21:48, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
