How to play Pack A Truck on Mac

Game summary

It's the future, and robots pack moving trucks using sensitive remote controls. The robots recently broke down, so it's up to you to help a family move with an odd collection of furniture and peculiar items. Manipulate objects that appear and pack them as tightly and efficiently as possible into the truck. Objects should be packed beyond, or mostly beyond, the packing line. A variety of packing items are thrown into the truck by the movers. It is up to the player to select a packing item or items and use the on-screen controls to pack them tightly past (or mostly past) the packing line -- which moves according to the game selected. There are 30 games you can play in Pack a Truck. Games 1-4 consist of boxes and balls, while Games 5-6 include furniture and odds and ends. Games 7-18 are like 1-6, but the movers want you to pack items tighter -- the line on the floor is moved. Robot helpers in Games 19-24 try to assist, but they sometimes fail. In Games 25-30 hit toy planes with packing items to wreck them and earn points. Planes turn red when they are almost destroyed. Movers shake the truck in game 30. Points are scored for every packing item that is behind (or mostly behind) the packing line. Additional points are scored for tightly packing items (packing items that touch each other). In general, the bigger the packing item, the more points that are scored for packing it. Balls, capsules, and cylinders are worth a bit more than other objects of the same size, because they tend to be harder to keep packed. Destroyed planes are worth as much as or more than the largest packing item.

Play Pack A Truck on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Pack A Truck 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).
