How to play Earth Shaker on Mac
Game summary
Earth Shaker - [by M Batty]
(taken from your sinclair 03/1990)
A rather talented Spec-chum called Michael Batty sent us this
one. It's in the style of Boulderdash and Repton, and sees you as a
small robot-type thingie scuttling around an underground land of manic
mayhem. Your job is to collect all the on-screen diamonds, digging
your way through the soil and dodging the stones and stuff that get
dislodged and drop on your head (or not as the case may be). There are
trillions of other features (see box-off) and with 32 fun-packed
levels you won't be finishing it too quickly, that's as damn sure as
mustard!
First released: Apr 1990
Play Earth Shaker on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Earth Shaker 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).
Earth Shaker 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 Earth Shaker like you would on any PC.
