How to play Cold War on Mac
Game summary
From 1945 until 1989, take control of the USA or the USSR in a war where direct fight is not possible.
This is a cold war, where propaganda, political influence and subversion, are key to achieve global domination.
Spend your budget, target the right countries, use your spies, send economic aid, launch direct military intervention or defence agreements, launch major R&D projects to reach for the space, the moon and for the Strategic Defense Initiative, and achieve influence over the world countries.
Cold War is a game created by Thomas Guyon and originally beta tested by Bellephoron and Orpheus.
Play Cold War on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Cold War 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).
Cold War 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 Cold War like you would on any PC.
