How to play Ocean Bound on Mac
Game summary
Ocean Bound is a survival game where you and the crew of your ship are stranded on an unknown island. The main goal is to build a ship to escape back to civilization, but before you can do that you must establish a colony, collect resources and try to stay alive. But once you manage to escape, the next level simply strands you in another island. There are sixty levels in total, featuring all sorts of islands, some as big as continents, and each one requires a different strategy to stay alive.
First released: Dec 1998
Play Ocean Bound on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Ocean Bound 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).
Ocean Bound 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 Ocean Bound like you would on any PC.
