How to play Colin McRae Rally 2005 on Mac
Game summary
You get to race in locations around the world, over 60 stages in eight different countries. Battle your way towards winning the championship. You can choose from many real life car models, and tune them up to match the conditions. The game realistically simulates all road types, weather conditions, and the physics of car handling. The locations and the cars are all real.
Two mobile game versions of this game were created, a N-Gage title developed by Ideaworks3D and a J2ME title developed by IOMO and published by Digital Bridges. The N-Gage version reused stages from Colin McRae Rally 2.0.
First released: Nov 2005
Play Colin McRae Rally 2005 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Colin McRae Rally 2005 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).
