How to play Javaders on Mac
Game summary
Javaders is a space invader look-a-like, except that it has more graphics, faster/meaner aliens and better weapons to defend yourself. It is played over 5 levels, each with 5 sub-levels and an end-of-level super invader.
There are four difficulty levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and a custom level. The custom level allows you to change various aspects of the game to suit your skill level. Extra bombs, lives and weapons continually fall during the game to assist you in the destruction of the invaders. The question is, are you able to complete all 5 levels on the Advanced difficulty setting?
First released: Dec 1999
Play Javaders on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Javaders 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).
Javaders installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Javaders like you would on any PC.
