On: Building a 10BASE5 “Thick Ethernet” Network (2012)

[klodolph]

Around that time (1993-ish) we had Macs and used something called PhoneNet. You plugged a dongle into the serial port and connected computers using ordinary telephone cable (you might call it “cat 1 cable” now).

There were a few games we played over the network, like Super Maze Wars or Marathon.

It wasn’t long before we switched to 10BASET.

The AppleTalk game I remember best was Bolo, which could run on just about any Mac.
