Yes.

NetStorm is in the bargain bin, so you can pick it up for $10 or so, I
bet. I also hear that Titanic folded last week, but that may be just a
rumor.
NetStorm had some bad problems with security (it saved "character data,"
which is to say, your island, on your hard drive), and a really cool
concept. I did some alpha testing on it. It wouldn't call it mudlike--it
was a "build a movable fort, and send it into an arena" game.
