Apple’s Mac OS (now written as macOS) also has a long history, but for some friends who are almost only exposed to Windows, they may not have experienced it so far.

A few days ago, software engineer Mihai Parparita presented the classic Mac OS 7 (System 7) and Mac OS 8 in the form of web page tags based on the Basilisk II web page simulator. If you’re curious about the early Apple desktop system or if you’re a nostalgic, give it a try.

After opening the page, there are some basic operation tips.

In fact, the web-based MacOS, Windows and DOS simulation is not the first time, but Parparita’s work this time has the advantages of long-term storage, file transfer, low CPU usage, etc., and is favored by foreign fans.

However, it is a little regrettable that due to the old system version, even if you have an ultra-wide-screen monitor at hand, it cannot be full-screen, and can only be limited to a fixed area like CRT.

According to the data, Mac OS 7 was released in 1991, and innovations at that time included personal file sharing functions, QuickTime players, etc., and MacOS 8 was born in 1997.
