Old BBC Micro skin for WinBolo 1.14

Feb 20, 2004 10:54 Old BBC Micro skin for WinBolo 1.14

This is, to the best of my knowledge, a graphical representation of the first version of Bolo which was made for the BBC Micro. This is a bit harsh on the eyes, but might give you a feel of what it would be like to play what alot of us have olny heard about. This isnt a skin yet, just a picture taken from http://www.c-trl.com/68k/theory.html. Tell me what you think.

Edit:
This is an old post, but it is wrong. The skin here was found on the internet and later discovered to be packaged inside the latest version of the classic Bolo. I have no idea what the original BBC Bolo looked like.

If you have Mac OSx this can easily be converted to black and white. First you must go to your system preferences. Then, click on Univ. Access.
Finally, turn on black and white. :roll:

Having a built in monochrome monitor w/ a screen resolution of 512x384, these machines run classic arcade and network games with blazing 1-bit graphics.

hard on the eyes ... perhaps grey scale would be more appropriate.



perhaps needs a bit of lightening ...

Nice find jhood.

I came across the site one day while looking for Bolo information. This morning I found out that the pic I posted above is embedded inside Bolo still. In fact, Bolo 99.7 mentions the BBC Micro a few times when looked upon in ResEdit.
