What then happened in April put the icing on the cake when it came to emulating classic Apple hardware. However, outside the 8-bit segment – and it still took us a while to close our jaws again. 😳

Mihai Parparita – to be found on mastodon as @mihaip – was already in our news before. In Issue #44 we reported about his browser-based versions of System 7 and Mac OS 8.

Now Mihai has followed suit – and adds on top … a lot!

At infinitemac.org he has put almost all classic Mac OS versions into a JS emulator dress, and made the majority of versions of the operating system from System 1.0 to Mac OS 9.4 directly usable in the browser. We're talking a whole 35(!) fully functional releases, and every single one of them boots directly into the browser of your choice.

8 official versions are still missing, but I'd almost bet, that it won't take another year for those to be available online as well, thanks to Mihai's work.

Of course, a piece of real hardware on your desktop is something else entirely – but if you just want to try out some software, revive a piece of your gaming past, or just indulge in nostalgia, this is the perfect place to be.
