How to play Rescue Terra I on Mac
Game summary
We have a serious problem on Terra I. The colonies sole purpose is to mine Zenbar Crystals which are used for 72% of Earth's energy production. Mining dangers plus security needed to safeguard crystal shipments required the creation of the most complex computer-controlled robotics system ever devised. This system had been doing a tremendous job. But... something is wrong. Crystal shipments have stopped, and returning crystal freighters have been destroyed by Terra I's own planetary defense system...

Play Rescue Terra I on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Rescue Terra I 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).
