Midnight/MU is a web-based multi-player version of the 1984 ZX Spectrum game, "The Lords of Midnight".
In the original game, you played Luxor the Moonprince in his quest to overthrow the evil sorceror lord, Doomdark.
Using the revolutionary "billboarding" technique, you could traverse the landscape of Midnight in pseudo-3D, and as you recruited allies, you could send them off on their own quests, and view the landscape from their eyes too.

Midnight/MU is a multi-user game based on the original, but being multi-user/multi-player means that a new dimension has been opened up to long-time LOM fans. Although the original graphics and the original LOM and DDR maps are included, all the code is new, and new maps/scenarios have been added. In addition, the LOM and DDR scenarios have seen some geographical changes and a host of new characters...

Midnight/MU went live on 05 October 2004, some 2 years after Jean-Yves first started coding it.
We hope that you enjoy it.
