How to play ArsDoom on Mac

PlatformsComputer

Game summary

An attempt for an artists project using the wellknown doom engine and wellhacked internal formats. No blood-feast! About 20 artists have been invited to exhibit in the virtual museum located in the Brucknerhaus in Linz, where every year an exhibition for the worlds greatest computer art contest, the prix ars electronica is celebrated. So people around the world who cannot come to Linz this time participate at the exhibition in the virtual Brucknerhaus. All the artists are there virtually (at least there heads and projects). Some personally, some computer generated. Max. 4 of them on the net, the other 20 as monsters. And have fun interacting with the different projects, be an artist like Arnulf Rainer, Hermann Nitsch, Baselitz or Nam June Paik.
First released: Dec 1995

Play ArsDoom on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play ArsDoom 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).

ArsDoom 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 ArsDoom like you would on any PC.
