How to play Dires: Giger Loop on Mac

Game summary

DIRES (Digital Image Real-Time Energy Simulation) giger・loop is a 3D action game in which players steer aircraft and need to topple poles. Gameplay is divided into 2 parts. The first part has players place poles with the opposite color in the looping field. The status bar will deplete and show players how many poles they can place. The second part starts as soon as all the poles are placed. In this part, players need to topple poles of their color while avoiding their opponents poles which they've placed in the first part of the game. In this part, the status bar will increase after the players topple the poles of their color and if the player's aircraft is slow, the poles will bounce their aircraft back.
First released: Feb 1987

Play Dires: Giger Loop on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Dires: Giger Loop 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).
