This is fantastic! I love the CLARIS-inspired "box" art too https://i.imgur.com/P9G7jOx.jpg

Came here for this exact comment. The artwork is spot on.

That, by itself alone, would have been amazing.

I don't miss the lack of memory protection of classic Mac OS, but I do miss everything else.

I genuinely think it fits right in. Apple always had a good aesthetic, even when everything was beige and rectangular. I did a giant chunk of my school work on Claris Works, before I discovered latex. Happy memories.

This is a real work of art. I have no words.

If only I could still get laptops with the keys printed in Univers 57 Condensed Oblique :) https://catalog.monotype.com/font/linotype/univers/57-conden...

That aesthetic was widespread throughout the PC universe in the 90s as well. I remember having a giant clip-art library that came on a whole bunch of CDs, and actually came with a catalog book to leaf through. A lot of it looked like that. Another example is Microsoft's clipart library, (in)famous for its images of the "screen bean" guy.

This is amazing. I am going to try running this on a Raspberry Pi emulating System 7, and relive the hours I spent logging in to remote machines back in the dial-up days.

Didn't last Mac OS 9 versions have memory protection? I mean there's a reason it's hard to run 9.2 on an emulator — it requires a working MMU.
