How to play Crazy Hamster on Mac
Game summary
Winter is coming and Crazy Hamster forgot to store his supplies! His only hope now is to visit different lands and collect foodstuffs before it's too late. Unfortunately, Crazy Hamster is so crazy that his one-track mind sees nothing but the goodies, despite the fact that the lands he must visit are teeming with traps and obstacles!
It's up to you to keep Crazy Hamster out of harm's way by building bridges, extinguishing fires and using ladders. Succeed and he'll get through winter with plenty of food in his belly – fail, and we might be witnessing the debut of "Hamsters on Ice".
First released: Nov 2009
Play Crazy Hamster on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Crazy Hamster 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).
Crazy Hamster 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 Crazy Hamster like you would on any PC.
