How to play Acid Runner on Mac
Game summary
Acid Runner is a variant of famous Lode Runner. The game is all about timing and proper usage of ladders and ropes while avoiding all the enemies and obstacles. The protagonist needs to collect all items scattered out over the levels and reach the escape doors before the time runs out. The task is complicated by numerous enemies roaming around which should be avoided and various electrical discharges. The only way to get rid of a guard is to make a hole in the ground, which may be used as temporary prison. After a certain amount of time a hole is filled up and the guard regains freedom.
The game features 30 levels.
First released: Jun 1993
Play Acid Runner on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Acid Runner 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).
