How to play Digger HD on Mac
Game summary
Digger HD updates the 1980’s PC classic with a next-generation, 21st Century facelift while maintaining classic gameplay. Control the feisty little construction vehicle and burrow its way through the perils of an underground world. Players dig through the dirt horizontally and vertically to create paths, collect jewels and coins, avoid monsters and falling bags of gold in in single and multiplayer modes. Return to Eighties’ arcade roots with the Vintage mode that replicates the original Digger’s old-school vibe. Detailed, high-end graphics and a playful, cutting-edge techno score make Digger HD a retro gaming experience unlike any other.

Play Digger HD on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Digger HD 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).
Digger HD installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
