How to play Guide the Light on Mac

Game summary

Guide our intrepid hero through deadly mazes to find fame, fortune and glory! Captain Blake, the famous explorer, has discovered a lost pyramid filled with treasures of unimaginable value. The route through the pyramid is blocked by stone doors that stand between Blake and the treasure, opening only if beams of light fall on their receptor crystals. Help Captain Blake reach the heart of the pyramid by using mirrors and crystals to Guide the Light! Every chamber contains a unique puzzle and you'll have to learn new skills to get through in one piece. Sometimes you'll need to split and combine light colours, bounce light around mazes and even work against the clock to escape the pyramid's fiendish traps.

Play Guide the Light on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Guide the Light 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).
