A MUSH, commonly known as a "'''[[Multi User Shared Hallucination|M]]'''[[Multi User Shared Hallucination|ulti-]]'''[[Multi User Shared Hallucination|U]]'''[[Multi User Shared Hallucination|ser]]''' [[Shared Mass Hallucination|S]]'''[[Shared Mass Hallucination|hared ]]'''[[Shared Mass Hallucination|H]]'''[[Shared Mass Hallucination|allucination]]", is a text-based online environment with its roots in [[Interactive Fiction]]. However, the title [[MUSH]], like [[MUCK]], is a pun on [[MUD]] ([[Multi User Dungeon]]), and rather good [[Fun with Acronyms|backronyms]] suggested by [[The Other Wiki]] also include '''M'''ulti-'''U'''ser '''S'''hared '''H'''ack, '''H'''abitat or '''H'''olodeck.
Progressing down the text-based online game 'system reliance' scale from [[MUCK|MUCKs]], MUSH games are usually perceived as having the least systems support for roleplay. Whereas a [[MUD]] will usually provide players with an entire game's worth of systems to play with, roleplay or otherwise, and MUCKs offer their players systems comparable to those of Pen&Paper [[RPG|RPGs]], a MUSH will often merely be a series of rooms, and only enough systems to allow players to communicate with one another in various ways, along with the occasional currency system. In other words, MUSH games generally encourage and trust their players to create and manage their own roleplay.
