How to play MoleZ on Mac
Game summary
MoleZ is an extremely brutal mole shoot'em up for two to four players on a single computer. You are a mole armed with a wide range of different weapons; from shovel all the way to the rocket launcher and nuclear grenade. Your only purpose is to kill the other moles or at least hurt them as much as possible before you die. The player with most kills wins!
MoleZ became almost legendary, at least in Finland. It started a whole new genre of "side view underground dig & shoot deathmatch" or real-time Worms-style games. Several clones (for example Liero) have been made from it since.
MoleZ was originally released in 1997 under donation based licensing terms. It was re-released as freeware on christmas day in 1999.
First released: Dec 1997
Play MoleZ on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play MoleZ 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).
MoleZ 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 MoleZ like you would on any PC.
