How to play Shadow Of Ganymede on Mac

Game summary

Shadow of Ganymede is an arcade-style space shooter game. It's the XXIIth century. The distant Solar System planets become the centres of mining. Since these planets are almost unreachable for humans, the mining rights are granted to the Automatic Mining System Corporation (AMSC), whose control centre is located on Jupiter's satellite Ganymede. On the 20th of May 2114, the central AMSC computer stops responding to the messages from the Earth. On the 21st of May, the Jupiter's cargo ship arrives in the Earth's orbit according to its schedule. However, instead of minerals, the cargo ship brings modified robots, which can annihilate all of the Earth's orbit patrol in a few seconds. The threat of annihilation mounts over The Earth.

Play Shadow Of Ganymede on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Shadow Of Ganymede 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).
