My offering: SubSpace (now SubSpace Continuum), 1997 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubSpace_(video_game)

I'm sure there's gotta be some MUD still running on a forgotten mainframe.

Yeah, same for me. My oldest character is 2006 but I mainly just do trading and see how high I can stack isk these days.

Ultima Online is still active. Came out in 1997.

There are probably a few MUDs older than that still active, but I don't know any myself. I don't THINK Materia Magica is older but I honestly don't know when it started.

Edit: MM started in 1995. Wow.

MUDs were my first thought. Havenโ€™t logged into one since probably โ€˜94-โ€˜95. Actually met a few friends on there.
