How to play Anti-Ballistic-Missile on Mac

Game summary

Anti-Ballistic-Missile is a Missile Command variant. The object of the game is to protect six cities along the IBM east coast. The enemy has 12 missiles it will fire which need to be destroyed before they reach the cities. The player controls a cursor indicating where to fire anti-ballistic missiles. If the missile detonates within range of an enemy missile, the enemy missile is destroyed. If all of the cities are destroyed, the player loses the game; if any cities survive, the player wins (better scores are earned for more remaining cities). Several skill levels are available which control the speed of the enemy missiles and the accuracy required for destroying missiles.
First released: Dec 1982

Play Anti-Ballistic-Missile on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Anti-Ballistic-Missile 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).
