Bolo

1987Stuart CheshireShmup

Bolo is a video game initially created for the BBC Micro computer by Stuart Cheshire in 1987, and was later ported by Cheshire to the Apple Macintosh. Although offered for sale for the BBC Micro, this version is now regarded as lost. It is a networked multiplayer game that simulates a tank battlefield. A Windows-only version known as WinBolo remains in operation and continues to have a small but active player base. More recently, an in-browser multiplayer version called WeBolo has been released, which is also being used to train an artificial intelligence agent.
