MUD(also known as MUD1 and British Legends) was the first game, written by Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle.

Roy started it in the fall of 1978 while at Essex University, and due to having to leave the college(graduation) passed it on to Richard in 1980. It stayed at Essex until around 1985, when MUD went live on CompuServe in the US and CompuNet in the UK.

For a full history, read Chapter 1 of Richard Bartle's book, Designing Virtual Worlds.
