How to play Ridge Racer Revolution on Mac
Game summary
Ridge Racer Revolution (リッジレーサーレボリューション Rijji Rēsā Reboryūshon) is an arcade racing game developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation in 1995. It is the PlayStation sequel of Ridge Racer (the arcade sequel is Ridge Racer 2). Like the original Ridge Racer, the player races against eleven other computer-controlled cars, and supports Namco's NeGcon controller. The game adds two hidden cars for the player to unlock, and 2-player support via the PlayStation Link cable. The game was re-released in Japan for the PlayStation The Best range on 27 June 1997, and for the Platinum Range in PAL regions the following year. The game received generally positive reviews, but some reviewers criticised its similarity to the original. Ridge Racer Revolution was followed by a sequel, Rage Racer, which was released on 3 December 1996 in Japan, May 15 1997 in North America, and June 1997 PAL regions.
First released: Dec 1995
Play Ridge Racer Revolution on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Ridge Racer Revolution 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).
