How to play Aironauts on Mac
Game summary
Aironauts is a flying aerobatic stunt action game for up to two players, set in a dystopian future society where prisoners are pitted against one another in arena battles to the death.
Players choose from 8 characters, each with distinct weapons and looks, and take to the skies in a battle to the death for the viewing public on "SKP-TV". Every level, called battle area, consists of a series of challenges, e.g. destroying certain items or a checkpoint race, ended with a one-to-one boss fight. After every area the player can trade collected and earned angel wings for power-ups which improve his abilities, e.g. speed or armor.
The game features Deathmatch, Stunt and Battle Modes.
First released: Sep 1999
Play Aironauts on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Aironauts 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).
Aironauts 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 Aironauts like you would on any PC.
