NVN MUD
- noun The incarnation of
MUD2 which ran on the National Videotex Network
from 1992 to 1994.
Historical note: US Videotext, or National Videotex Network
(no-one was ever sure which) took MUD2 when
Bridgette Patrovsky's planned network, Access 24, was scuppered moments
before launch by its backers. It went on to become a quite
successful incarnation, with royalties that
actually made a difference to MUSE's bank accounts (a
feat only achieved previously by CompuServe, despite their best efforts).
Sadly, this success was insufficient to save NVN itself,
which went bankrupt and had to be closed down.
