nuBolo is a port of the classic Macintosh network game Bolo, written by Stuart Cheshire. It is not a "clone;" rather, it was developed directly from the Bolo 0.99.7 object code. This means the gameplay is very close to the original. nuBolo uses the same map file format as classic Bolo, and generates game log files that can be viewed with BoloViewer. It has been tested on Macintosh OS X versions 10.3 and higher.
Although the gameplay remains faithful to the original, there have been a large number of enhancements. The graphics are completely new, and now use SpriteWorld. Many improvements to the user interface have been made, including an integrated game tracker. There is no longer a need for an external game tracker such as Bolo Buddy.
