Insert a LOT of various mini based games here, including many
multi-user. Most all were variations on maze chase games or
Rogue/Larn/Hack/Moria with character graphics however. Dungeon,
Adventure, Caverns, and various spinoffs also made their way over to
the mini side and spawned like crazy there. DEC PDP machines were a
favourite platform for many.

Insert mainframe and mini multi-user games here ala SX MUD and other
earlier progenitors. eg Cyber used to have one they semi-officially
distributed as a proof-of-multi-user support with their machines and
OS.
Time period: early 1980's.

The above direct asynch terminal games then mutated into the online
service games (cf the Bartle paper, IOWA (which I was involved in)
etc). Within a fairly short period (but definitely later, using
networking as the basic IO apporach (eg Internet MUDS) started to
appear.
Time period: mid 1980's.
> Graphical multiplayer online environments
Again in minimal form occurred very early (if text mode graphics and
direct terminal only) in the various 3D maze chase games. (cf the one
Novell used to distribute with their NOS). BSX, AmigaMUd, and more
recently Meridian 59 fall in this corner.
