How to play Baby T-Rex on Mac

Game summary

It's REX To The Rescue! You were once just a typical Tyrannosaurus-10 tons of terror with lots of teeth and really bad breath. Now, thanks to Captain NewEye' Brain Grain formula, you're the intelligent giant reptile called Rex - and you're hopping mad! Evil Professor ScrewEyes has "dino-napped" your prehistoric pals, Woog, Dweeb and Elsa, and is holding them prisoner in his castle. Only you have the brains and brawn to set them free! Follow a mystical map that will take you from the outskirts of the Jurassic Jungle through the Cretaceous Caves to well within the castle walls. Then it's on to the Dungeon and, if you avoid extinction, up into the Tower. 16 levels of "brain-draining" obstacles, traps and other dangers await you-not to mention power-boosting inventions, carefully hidden bonuses and secret worlds of adventure. So step on it big guy-or your friends could end up as colossal fossils!
First released: Dec 1993

Play Baby T-Rex on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Baby T-Rex 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).
