Winbolo for Mac

Kinda completing the circle, but how about a Mac version of Winbolo so those folks can join in the fun? There are potentially more players through Windows for the game, but some of the most experienced and long-time Bolo fans are in the Macintosh community. Getting some of these old-fogeys(such as myself) playing the Winbolo versions w/o having to switch their beloved platform will help to improve the community of Winbolo immenseley.

Boloing from 1992 onward...

Yeah, and while we're at it, let's make a PDA/smartphone version too, so I can play it while I'm taking a dump. Hmm... maybe I could buy a wi-fi laptop.

Elvis said he got linbolods to compile on OSX so hopefully we can look forward to an OSX client in the future.

You could make a version for PDA. Not a bad idea, actually. Oh yeah... don't be an ass, eh?

Ask anyone and they'll tell ya-- stimpy's an ass. Who am I to argue otherwise? Live with me or die at the hands of my turret! Yeah, that's right, my turret has hands, okay!?!? :wink:

On a side note, hey Elvis, can you get some more emoticons that aren't smiling? There's fifty ways to show I'm happy and like 3 for when I'm feeling pissy. Asses like me thrive on anger! :twisted: :evil: :x

did you know this post was almost a year old?

lol, yeah. Btw, how could anyone call Mac OS "beloved"???

Who cares? :> I'm still waiting for XBolo so I can start playing again.

PD

Well Bonfire just incase you are new to forums.....its stupid and noobish to bring up ancient posts like this, its better to just start a new one and not look so retarded. Anyways don't expect os X bolo anytime soon. You will have a better chance of installing windows on your mac. Speaking of windows.......put your mac beside your door to hold it open and go buy yourself an hp or something.

yeah, but elvis won't give the code to pplz.

Now I remember what differentiates the Macintosh community from the PC community. Bolo used to be a fun game with a great and friendly following. So far all I've seen with this PC version is a new reason for people to insult each other

Well Doug, I agree. I played macbolo (so I guess I could be considered a vet) for a month at camp and then tried to get it onto PC for about three years. Now that I have it I'm slightly disappointed because of the attitude. I went on a quest to find bolo was because I remember how fun it was and how supportive the players were.

[post mandatory random green smiley here:] --> :mrgreen: <--

well olepigeon, you buy Elvis that mac with os X fly to .au and help him convert it and I will support Xbolo. For now, it seems to be distant if not impossible.

elvis has a powerbook with mac os X on it ......

perhaps XBolo is not as far away as you may think?

Excuse my ignorance to some of the jargon used,....

What exactly is "xbolo",

thanx Addy

What exactly is "xbolo",

May get confusing, but XBolo is a Macintosh port of the Windows version of the classic Macintosh game which was created on the BBC Micro.
