How to play Astrododge on Mac
Game summary
Astrododge is an unlicensed SG-1000/SC-3000 game developed and published by Revival Studios. It was released in early 2013 - two and a half decades after the last officially licensed SG-1000 game, The Black Onyx in 1987. The game is relatively simple - all the user must do is dodge asteroids while travelling upwards. The game is available in both cartridge and cassette form.
The SG-1000 is one of many platforms to receive this game. The basic concept was created by Revival Studios in 2008 for CHIP-8 compatible systems of the late 1970s before being retooled for the Magnavox/Philips Odyssey² in 2011. Near identical copies to this SG-1000 version are available for the ColecoVision and MSX.
First released: Mar 2013
Play Astrododge on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Astrododge 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).
Astrododge 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 Astrododge like you would on any PC.
