The original MUDs drew their inspiration from paper-and-pencil based games such as [[Dungeons and Dragons]] (hence their name), but over time variants have diversified into other models while retaining the textual format. For example, some variants are called MUCKs[[MUCK|MUCKS]], [[MUSH|MUSHs]], LPMUDs, and [[MOO|MOOs]].

A [[MUSH]] is often said to mean ''mu''lti-player ''s''hared ''h''allucination. MUSHes descend from the program TinyMUD. MUSHes date back to the early [[1990s]]. They are more directly concerned with role-playing than [[MUD|MUDs]], dispensing with the scoring system and most rules.
