How to play Portal: The Flash Version on Mac
Game summary
A free flash game inspired by Valve's Portal. This fan created game shares the same mechanics, objects and themes as the original Portal, however it's in 2D and has a male protagonist.
Portal: The Flash Version started as a Flash project by Hen Mazolski and Ido Tal, back when Valve first announced about Portal. This may be the reason why this flash game and the objects in it (such as the crusher) resemble the ones in the trailer more than those from the released game.
First released: Oct 2007
Play Portal: The Flash Version on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Portal: The Flash Version 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).
Portal: The Flash Version installation steps for Mac
