Game summary
Mr. Driller's world has been covered with mysterious colored blocks. Armed with only a mighty drill, you'll have to dig your way down to safety before his air supply runs out! It will take quick thinking and sharp reflexes to get the job done. Can you handle the challenge?
Mr Driller is a real-time puzzle game that relies solely on quick-thinking and a bit of planning. Gameplay is a combination of Tetris and Boulder Dash: You have to drill down through multi-colored blocks to reach the bottom while avoiding the consequences of reckless drilling (blocks may fall on you and crush you).
First released: Oct 1999
Play Mr. Driller on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Mr. Driller 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).
