How to play Iron Soldier on Mac
Game summary
The player controls a robot spanning 42 feet or 13 metres in a series of 16 missions consisting of destroying certain enemies and buildings. Some missions require the player to obtain new weapons from an enemy base or destroy other robots.
The player has a wide variety of weapons like rocket launchers, a chainsaw, gatling gun, shield, and self-controlled rockets, which can be equipped on any part of the robot.
The gaming media reported that Iron Soldier would support two-player gaming via the Jaguar's dial-up internet link;[1] however, the Jaguar internet link was never completed or released, so Iron Soldier was released as a single-player game only.
First released: Dec 1994
Play Iron Soldier on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Iron Soldier 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).
Iron Soldier installation steps for Mac
Step 1

Step 4
