How to play Alien Rampage on Mac

Game summary
Inner Circle Creations gave birth to Alien Rampage (also known as Ravager) in 1996, with the help of Softdisk Publishing as publisher.
Alien Rampage is a 2D side-scroller with large animated sprites and multiple layers of parallaxing backgrounds.
You are a lone angry alien dude with a bad attitude. You crash landed on an inhospitable planet, and thus you set out to get back to a ship so you can leave this horrible place. To make it, you'll blast hundreds upon hundreds of nasty creatures, enemy bounty hunters, and you'll use some pretty impressive weaponry to do it.
You'll also get to buy power ups and get help from the goofy local troll-like natives, to solve puzzles.
The gameplay consists of running, jumping and shooting, with a big emphasis on shooting. The action is very gory, and is akin to DOOM in 2D.
First released: Oct 1996
Play Alien Rampage on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Alien Rampage 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).
Alien Rampage installation steps for Mac
Step 1

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
