Bolo (1987 video game)

Bolo is a video game created for the BBC Micro computer by Stuart Cheshire in 1987, and later ported to the Macintosh in its most popular incarnation. It is a networked multiplayer game that simulates a tank battlefield. It was one of the earliest simultaneous multiplayer networked games.

A similarly named tank game was created for the Apple II in 1982. Cheshire says this was "an unfortunate coincidence", and that his Indian wife inspired the name. As Cheshire noted in his original documentation for the game, "Bolo is the Hindi word for communication. Bolo is about computers communicating on the network, and more important about humans communicating with each other, as they argue, negotiate, form alliances, agree strategies, etc."

Bolo

Bolo may refer to:

Bolo (tank)

A Bolo is a fictional type of artificially intelligent superheavy tank. They were first imagined by Keith Laumer in the short story "Combat Unit" in 1960. They have since been featured in Science fiction novels and short story anthologies by him and others. While stories are partly set in the near future, most take place in the 27th to 33rd century or even later. The fictional universe of Bolo stories is populated by alien races, which forced humanity and human colonists on distant planets to defend themselves with a large military.

Bolo (Breakout clone)

Bolo is a computer game originally for the Atari ST using the high resolution monochrome monitor. The game is considered a Breakout clone.

Bolo builds on the concept of Breakout, introducing numerous additions such as gravity, exploding bricks, and tunneling to make the game more interesting and challenging. Written in the late 1980s by Meinolf Schneider, better remembered for his Oxyd games, Bolo was quite popular with Atari ST users in Germany at the time. It was later remade for Macintosh and MS-DOS.

Bolo (footballer)

Jon Andoni Pérez Alonso (born 5 March 1974), known as Bolo, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a centre forward.

During his 15-year professional career, in which he represented six clubs, he appeared in 479 games in the two major levels of Spanish football, scoring 95 goals. In La Liga he amassed totals of 168 matches and 29 goals, with Athletic Bilbao and Rayo Vallecano (four seasons apiece).

Bolo ( Manchu: Bolo; 1613 – 23 April 1652), formally known as Prince Duanzhong, was a Manchu prince of the Qing dynasty. He was born in the Aisin Gioro clan, the imperial clan of the Qing dynasty, as the third son of Abatai.

Bolo (1982 video game)

Bolo is a 1982 video game written for the Apple II series of computers, published by Synergistic Software.
