How to play 9th Dawn on Mac
Game summary
9th Dawn is an old school tile base fantasy role playing game. It harkens back to the days of Ultima 4 or 5, or similar tile based games of the mid to late 1980s. The game took quite a long time to finish so there is a lot to see and explore in 9th Dawn. 9th Dawn II is in the works and I for one look forward to that.
First released: Nov 2012
Play 9th Dawn on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play 9th Dawn 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).
9th Dawn installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.

Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install 9th Dawn like you would on any PC.
