How to play Rex on Mac
Game summary
Rex, the thick-skinned mercenary, is here to do a job. He's come to Zenith to do away with the humans that have built their fortunes around the Great Tower.
Armed with the greatest weapon system yet seen, with it array of cannons, lasers, multiple spray guns and smart bombs, Rex leaps from cave to cave in a mad blitz that wreaks havoc and destruction on his chosen enemies, who explode in a mass of sound and colour, leaving behind their precious energy bubbles.
Once in the Great Tower itself, new challenges await the mighty Rex. A multi-level arcade extravaganza of epic proportions.
First released: Feb 1988
Play Rex on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Rex 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).
Rex 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 Rex like you would on any PC.
