Game summary
Asteroids Fighter is an Asteroids clone. The game is extremely similar to the Atari classic, with solid graphics instead vector graphics. In fixed screens, the player takes the control of a space ship with the mission to eliminate all the asteroids present in the screen to reach the next level. When an asteroid is reached by a shot, it is broken in multiple pieces. If the player's ship touches one of these pieces a life is lost. In advanced levels the player will must destroy armed enemy spaceships in addition to asteroids. The ten best scores are archived in the high scores table.

Play Asteroids Fighter on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Asteroids Fighter 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).
Asteroids Fighter 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 Asteroids Fighter like you would on any PC.
