Alan Cox had played the original [[University of Essex]] MUD, and the gameplay was heavily influenced by it.{{R|carroll}}  AberMUD was initially written in [[B (programming language)|B]] for a Honeywell L66 mainframe under GCOS3/TSS. In late 1988 it was ported to [[C (programming language)|C]], which enabled it to spread rapidly to many [[Unix]] platforms upon its release in 1989. AberMUD's popularity resulted in several inspired works, the most notable of which were [[TinyMUD]], [[LPMud]], and [[DikuMUD]].{{R|bartle-abermud}}
