How to play Skateball on Mac
Game summary
Skateball is a violent futuristic sport, part ice skating, part soccer. A match is played by two teams of three players each, one of them a goalkeeper, on an ice court with steel walls, and a single ball. The objective of Skateball is to score five goals or kill the three players of the opposite team. To achieve this, there are no rules and any kind of contact is allowed. There are several different courts with holes and other lethal obstacles.
The game can be played in single player vs. the computer, or two players against each other.
First released: Feb 1988
Play Skateball on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Skateball 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).
Skateball 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 Skateball like you would on any PC.
