How to play Agent Orange on Mac
Game summary
My Great-Great-Grandfather was a Battle of Britain pilot, or so my father told me when
I explained to him that I wanted to join the Intergalactic Agricultural Research
Establishment. "Let's hope that some of his flying skills are still present in your genes!", were my
father's only remarks when I was awarded a flying scholarship.
To be one of "The Chosen Few" was rare, very rare according to statistics - 30,000
applications for 10 places each year. It isn't that the job is well paid either. most Skilled space pilots
earn more than the "Flying Farmers" as our nickname goes - but they don't carry the future of the
world on their shoulders, do they?
The IARE was founded to fuse the convergent disciplines of Agriculture and Space Travel into a
force which would make the colonisation of other planets more practical and simple. If one is being
absolutely truthful, it was the discovery of an Astalan alien agricultural station that made the genetic
breakthrough possible despite the IARE's claim that their genetic engineering labs were responsible.
The Capture of an alien seedpod and the genetic analysis which followed allowed us to realise that
farming on other planets was not only possible but could actually be productive too.
From this discovery, it was a simple step for the college to set up entrepreneurial types like me as
self-employed space farmers who would plant and harvest crops and bring the valuable cargo back
to Earth for sale. Only the very best survive this life for long but it's a challenge that I certainly
couldn't refuse.
The greatest unsolved problem at the IARE is that of the farmer's traditional enemy - weeds. Yes,
weeds do grow on other planets and we have no way of controlling them. The Astalans have a
weedkiller, we can read the references to it on their seed storage pods, but we can't synthesise it at
all. It is every Flying Farmer's aim to one day capture some "Agent Orange", a name taken from
anther weedkiller used in a wa

Play Agent Orange on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Agent Orange 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).
Agent Orange installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
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 Agent Orange like you would on any PC.
