I put a whole 1991 Macintosh Quadra with Mac OS 8.1 into an Electron app, together with a lot of games and apps. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux … and JavaScript. Again: Im sorry.

Its in fact kinda practical in terms of software application. It includes games and demos from a 1997 Macworld demo disc, including Oregon Trail, Duke Nukem 3D, Civilization II, Alley 19 Bowling, Damage Incorporated and Dungeons & & Dragons. There are some other apps and demonstrations too, such as Photoshop 3, Premiere 4 and Illustrator 5.5.
You wont have the ability to get online through the emulator, despite the fact that it includes Internet Explorer and Netscape. Theres a method for you to transfer files into your brand-new, but extremely old operating system. You may like to get some games and apps from Macintosh Repository. Rieseberg said he was able to install Encarta on the emulator.
It does not run perfectly, given problems that other GitHub users have raised– the Civ II demonstration crashed immediately for one brave soul who tried it. You most likely shouldnt use it for any major purposes, but it appears like an enjoyable journey down memory lane (or into the before times for some younger folks).
