"Computer Gaming World" printed in April 1994 that EA "was working on a videogame version of the game, but the design was terminated because of creative differences between the publisher and the designer". The magazine reported a rumor in May 1994 that a "Genesis version has been completed, but EA is debating over its release", and then in August 1994 that Bunten had decided against remaking the game because EA "wanted me to put in guns and bombs". An editorial asked the company to "give us "M.U.L.E." with Smithore and Crystite as its creator intended". Bunten was working on an Internet version of "M.U.L.E." until her death in 1998.
