How to play My Railroad on Mac

Game summary

The main idea is the construction of the railway and train management. Game genre: puzzle and arcade elements. The game contains two parts - the main gameplay and the quest part. In the main gameplay the player needs to connect all the towns with each other using 6 kinds of rails. After that the player should direct trains between towns (the red train should go to the red town, and the yellow one - to the yellow one) using of railways switchers and traffic lights. Various relief obstacles (rivers and mountains) appear further in the game, as well as bridges and tunnels. Next we tried to create difficulties in the paths construction. There are only 6 rail shapes, so it is necessary to create additional loops or railway sidings for some cities connection (puzzle elements). Also there is a quest part in the game - the player can spend the earned money to restore locomotives in the hangar.

Play My Railroad on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play My Railroad 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).
