Developers Simulate Macintosh System 7 in Flash

Posted by pudge on from the time-meet-hands dept.

TheChocolatay writes "Two guys in Germany have worked to create a Macintosh System 7 simulation in Flash. You can watch the Happy Mac face as the system boots and it even has a working Control Pannel, After Dark screen saver, and games. Wired news has an article on the developers and the simulation can be viewed on-line."

  1. I gotta say, that was nicely done by daviddennis · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And it's even surviving a Slashdotting, which is pretty darn impressive considering how big that thing must be.

    lots of other mistakes, too..
    • dragging windows or icons should drag an outline, but instead it has live dragging.
    • non-functional resize controls
    • windowshade control instead of zoom box .. huh?
    • selecting icons doesn't work right in the Finder
    • non-functional scrollbars
    plenty of other problems, I'm sure, but the above was enough to annoy me.. didn't feel at all mac-like so I closed the window after 30 seconds or so of playing with it. (although I do admit I did use the "shutdown" menu item first.. :-)

  3. Doesn't look like 7 by dthree · · Score: 2, Insightful

    More like 5 or 6. Windows and menubar in 7 have shading.
