How to play Elven Warrior on Mac

Game summary

Elven Warrior is a flick-screen platformer where you play the role of Elf as you explore the land and the underground passages for various bottles of potion to fill a cauldron up. As you search the land there are various creatures that must be avoided or shot with one of various limited weapons that can be found and collected, a long bow, staffs or axes. If you touch a creature then you lose part of a health meter but if you fall into water or touch spikes then this empties the meter and it is game over. On the surface of the land are various doors which take you underground but keys are needed to open them which can be found in various locations. Once you find a bottle then you take it back to the cauldron and this then opens up other parts of the area when full.
First released: Dec 1989

Play Elven Warrior on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Elven Warrior 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).
