How to play Krakatoa on Mac
Game summary
There are several thing you must do in this game. Your general
objective is to keep everybody and everything safe from the
volcano and the periodical air strikes. And the submarine.
Starting on the left hand side of the playing area, the first
island is your base. This is where you start from, and if your
helicopter gets damaged, landing here will repair it. You can
also refuel from here as well. Should you also rescue any
people, this is where you must drop them of to gain the points.
Rescuing is done by lowering the rope and flying the end of it
into the men. Depending on how much rope you lower, you can
carry up to 5 people at once. When dropping them off, be careful
that you just lower the bottom person on the rope to level with
the ground - they will automatically climb off. If you go down
too low you will kill them.
Play Krakatoa on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Krakatoa 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).
Krakatoa 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 Krakatoa like you would on any PC.
