How to play Cyber Virus: CinciClassic Edition on Mac
Game summary
Cybervirus is one of the most highly sought-after "lost" games for the Atari Lynx. Now, Songbird has acquired this game from former developer Beyond Games (along with Ultra Vortex and Mechtiles). Finally, a first person mission game for the Atari Lynx!
Cybervirus puts you in the role of the last surviving member of the Demolitions Ops Guerillas (or DOGs) of War. You've got to stop the horde of bio-mechanical nasties that are threating mankind with extinction!
Only 25 units of this limited edition game were made. The game included eight missions, at least two of which did not appear in the future general release of CyberVirus. Both the cartridge label and opening screens indicated this was the special CinciClassic version.
First released: Dec 2001
Play Cyber Virus: CinciClassic Edition on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Cyber Virus: CinciClassic Edition 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).
Cyber Virus: CinciClassic Edition installation steps for Mac
Step 1
