About

Net Othello 1.1b2 is a networked implementation of the classic disc-flipping board game Othello (Reversi) for Classic Mac OS, written by Andrew McGeachie at Boston University and submitted to Info-Mac in August 1993. It lets several users on an AppleTalk network play multiple simultaneous games against different opponents from a single Mac.Networked playBuilt on AppleTalk, Net Othello discovers other players on the local network and brokers matches between them. The 1.1 revision extended discovery across AppleTalk zones and reworked the underlying messaging for more reliable communication during a game.System requirementsRuns under System 6 or System 7 and is fully MultiFinder compatible, so a single user can keep several boards open at once and switch between them while other Mac applications continue to run in the background.Known issuesThe author flags a registration bug: attempting to sign in with a name already in use prompts for a replacement, but submitting the new name causes the application to crash. A fix was planned for a later beta.DistributionPosted to Info-Mac at game/brd/net-othello-10b2.hqx as a BinHex 4.0 archive, free to download and play.
