Mac mini --> Mac SE/30

I can't read a lick of Japanese, but I can admire this fellow's amazing photo set of cramming a Mac mini into the case of a Mac SE/30. He even got the 9" black and white display to hook up to the Mac mini and cut a slot for the optical drive. Wow!

Last time I used a Mac SE/30 was to play Bolo. Ah, Bolo, how I miss driving my little tanks around maps created to mimic my University's campus.

I used to like Balance of Power 2. I found it online recently and it even runs under Classic. A lot of the old games are available somewhere online. (I also liked Ancient Art of War and AAoW At Sea.)

I wish there was a Bolo for Mac OS X. I would still play. Rendezvous support would be even better!

Here's another using an LCD and a very interesting solution to the power-button issue:

Sure,
it's less stealthy, but using the LCD leaves a lot more room. I'm sure someone (me, when I get the cash together) could cram a larger hard drive in the case and get a pretty decent server running.

#8 - i think we do.

Dark Castle was my favorite. Never finished it but got oh so close on numerous occasions.

I get the feeling that you guys just love pictures of Macs crammed into anything ;)

Back in the early nineties I used to work for a telco in Sydney and we had two tower blocks - one in the city and one in North Sydney (over the Harbour Bridge).

We were a 100% Macintosh company (Yay!) and every so often (but not often enough!) we used to play Bolo over the network between the two buildings and the battle would rage into the night! We were all so gripped we barely found time to relieve ourselves. I remember vividly sitting at my desk with my trusty PowerBook 170 and very full bladder desperately holding them off from destroying my bases. What a blast. And hours of shooting up pillboxes for practice..!

Those were definitely great days. Thank you, Stuart Cheshire!

Hmm

"how I miss driving my little tanks around maps created to mimic my University's campus"

Did you really hate your lecturers that much?

Funny! ;-)

I definitely remember the SE/30. I remember using it w/ System 6, ResEdit, and the Font/DA Mover! ;-)
