Alter Aeon is a free, on-line text adventure game. Players can connect to the
game with any regular telnet program, or
with one of many specialized gaming clients. Most computers have a
version of telnet installed by default, but most telnet programs are of poor
quality (most notably the Microsoft Windows versions.) Using the telnet protocol
allows practically anyone in the world to connect to the game, regardless of
the type or speed of their computer. Almost any computer connected to the
internet can access Alter Aeon.
For a list of more advanced clients, you might want to look at the programs
listed on our
How To Connect
page. There are clients for almost all types of computer and operating system.
There are also several types of intelligent clients, specially designed
for playing Muds.
For history buffs, here is an old version of the 'How to Connect' web page from
the 1998 series web pages:

You can find answers to common questions asked by players here. These are
questions usually asked by players already familiar with the game - new
players may not find much of value here until they play the game for a while.

but is hosted on the same server. While incomplete, it has a number of interesting things
for advanced players to look at.
