How to play Darts on Mac
Game summary
Darts is a 1-player skill game for the 8-bit Atari. The player controls a hand, which they must position on a dart board to score points. There are 10 levels of difficulty, which determine the shakiness of the throwing arm. The player also sets the level of the computer opponent. The player counts down points from 1001, 905, 501, or 301. The first player to reach a score of 0 is the winner, and the scoring points must be a double. The player can choose to require a double at the start of the game.
First released: Dec 1981
Play Darts on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Darts 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).
Darts 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 Darts like you would on any PC.
