- M.U.L.E. supports three players on two port joystick machines (800xl,
  65xe etc).
    the game goes like this:
      - joystick in first port
      - two paddles in second port
    then:
      - button confirming, land grant phase, auctions - each player is
        using of its controller

        passed between players on its turns
