Game summary
Dark Eyes was a 1999 MMORPG for Windows PCs by Nextech. It is one of the few games Nextech developed and published itself rather than for another company. Sega, who had complete ownership of the company at the time, announced a port to the Sega Dreamcast sometime in 1999. This never went to completion for unknown reasons. One exposition, in PlayerOne issue 99 page 28, showed the game having 3000 payers in one environment.
First released: Feb 1999
Play Dark Eyes on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Dark Eyes 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).
Dark Eyes 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 Dark Eyes like you would on any PC.
