How to play Cruise Missile on Mac

Game summary

You control your own Starship in this space battle which takes place in the galaxy of Interwand. Your Interwand Starship is equipped to do battle with the enemy guard towers and spaceships of the planet Antiwand. Your mission is to destroy the guard towers that protect the underground enemy settlement and enter the secret tunnel that leads to Antiwand. You must constantly be on the alert and attack the guard towers before they collide with and destroy your Starship. When you have destroyed 10 towers, you will go to Level 2 where you can enter the underground world of the Antiwands. It is here that you will do battle with Antiwand spaceships and underground missile command towers which will try to destroy your Starship. The more Antiwand towers you destroy, the more the attack speed of the towers increases and the tunnel itself grows more and more narrow making your journey more perilous than ever.

Play Cruise Missile on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Cruise Missile 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).

Cruise Missile 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 Cruise Missile like you would on any PC.
