Game summary
In "Farming Simulator" you are a farmer and will experience the versatile everyday life of a Farmer. Take a seat behind the steering wheel of the different detailed agricultural engines and carry out your work in the fields. You’ve got to plow your fields, sow the seeds, reap or station the harvest to store it in the silo or deliver it to the next harbour. The life of a farmer is hard, and so the player has to steer his heavy vehicles around the clock to earn his keep of life. As in the real world of farming the weather isn’t always on your side, and rain and hail give you a hard time. Additionally different missions have to be mastered, you also have the possibility to move absolutely free within this huge game world.

Play Farming-Simulator 2008 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Farming-Simulator 2008 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).
