This project is dedicated for remastering of the classic Apple's game called "BOLO".
BOLO by Elvyn Software, 1982
Unofficial IBM PC port of original game for Apple II by MrRm, 1993. It's for MS-DOS, but runs in Windows XP too.
You have to destroy 6 enemy bases. Find them in the maze with your radar and hit the center.
Keys:
cursor keys - move tank
1, 2 - turn your gun
3 - fire
ESC - exit game
The game perfectly works on modern systems via DOSBox:
dosbox -exit BOLO.COM
If you want to check what happens after we win, checkout the patch below.

Answer YES to the questions and then run BOLO_patched.EXE.
The plan is to re-implemented the game "as is" as multiplayer.
So, if you can share the sources of the this implementation of BOLO, it would be great.
