I’m looking for strange/interesting/obscure PC games. Could be anything from Windows, DOS, Mac OS (old school), PC-98, Amiga, or whatever else I’m missing there. Let’s hear ‘em!

Discworld MUD
Where my fellow mudders at?
I used to be way into MUDs back in the day, and I think Mirkwood was the one I played the most. I still play Aardwolf sometimes. More recently I experimented a bit with Evennia and it was surprisingly not as difficult as I thought it would be. Would be relatively easy for a group to make something together in it… HexMUD when??
Oh hell yeah I’d be down
I’ve had several characters throughout the years, but right now my (rather low level) character is a priest which is great for support
for a sense of scale, this is just one of many cities in the game
and many of the buildings have their own maps
So Evennia is interesting in that it’s not really programming. You basically go inside your empty game and start building it with commands. It’s pretty neat: https://www.evennia.com/docs/latest/Howtos/Beginner-Tutorial/Part1/Beginner-Tutorial-Building-Quickstart.html
You can run scripts that basically auto create stuff to save time, but I find the live environment pretty cool because you can test things as you go along. There’s also a lot of preexisting stuff available for it to get started.
