How to play Micropede on Mac
Game summary
Micropede is a game of skill that is like the old arcade games, Millipede and Centipede. You will have to learn to quickly and skillfully move your man using your mouse. With practice, you will begin to amaze yourself as you become able to manuver your man out of spots that look impossible to get out of alive.
Your objective is to shoot the micropede segments and avoid being touched by anything that moves. If you are touched, you die. There are 500 levels to play. Shooting all the segments on the screen advances you to the next level. Other enemies will attack you besides the micropede segments. They include spiders, mosquitos, dragonflies, bees, and beetles.
Play Micropede on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Micropede 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).
Micropede 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 Micropede like you would on any PC.
