How to play Lone Soldier on Mac

Game summary

"The aliens have stolen a super missile and will not hesitate to use it unless we pay their ransom demand, which is a large amount of Uranium." "You soldier, must enter the enemy zone and retrieve this missile by causing disruption among their troops and then taking out the alien scum." " I must warn you that you will move very slow and your motions will appear sluggish. When ambushed by the enemy do not attempt to shoot back as you will probably die because the on-screen cross-hair will take an age to reach it's intended target. Oh, and soldier, do not attempt to shoot your weapon while running.... as it will not work." "You will come across a number of vehicles which can be blown up with the rocket launcher that you will find during the game." "Just one more thing soldier, if a tree or a bush suddenly pops up right in front of you do not worry, as they are only frequent glitches that spoil the gameplay." "That's all soldier, do you have anything to say before you embark upon this suicide mission?"
First released: Jan 1996

Play Lone Soldier on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Lone 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).

Lone Soldier 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 Lone Soldier like you would on any PC.
