Game summary

50 Shades of Graytall is a megawad of 18 levels built around the design constraint of using only three textures for walls (namely DOORTRAK, FIREBLU1, and GRAYTALL). Despite this limitation, the challenge was to create levels that were aesthetically pleasing and offered interesting gameplay. The project was led by Michael Fraize (Marcaek). Each map was allowed to use one flat of the author's choice as well as F_SKY1. In addition, further textures could be used on non-visible parts (such as the upper and lower textures of a one-sided line) so as to achieve special effects, such as switch sounds (a line only provides audible feedback when activated if it has a switch texture) and sky transfers.

Play 50 Shades of Graytall on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play 50 Shades of Graytall on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
