How to play Hyperide: Vector Raid on Mac

Game summary

This game puts a modern spin on obstacle course gameplay, inspired by the all-time classic, River Raid. The player controls an ultra-fast spaceship on a rescue mission and needs to be mindful of the oncoming space debris, as well as the power level of the ship, which is resupplied by picking up special crystals. But this is no problem for one of the speediest vessels in the galaxy! The game is inspired by two classics, pop culture masterpieces, River Raid and Tron. The gameplay is a tribute to the well-known old-school arcade titles of the past. Jump into the super-fast spaceship, avoid and shoot oncoming obstacles, and all of this at crazy hyperspeed! It’s not going to be easy – with everything happening at a blazingly fast pace, you’ll need all of your attention.

Play Hyperide: Vector Raid on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Hyperide: Vector Raid 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).
