How to play Ski Stunt Simulator on Mac
Game summary
Ski Stunt Simulator is a realistic physics-based simulation of acrobatic ski stunts with intuitive "mouse gesture" controls.
The player has to ski down a slope, perform certain stunts and land safely. If you succeed the crowd will cheer, if you crash the crowd emphatically yells out "aah". Ski Stunt Simulator was first released as a online Java game/experiment. Later it was released for Windows with more features and levels and better graphics.
The first Java web based game only has 4 stages: kicker jump, crash & burn, the wall and practise. The Windows version has 23 stages divided over 4 difficulty levels: trainer, beginner, intermediate and professional. The Windows version also has additional features like collapsing cliffs and bridges, falling boulders, a bombshell and a jet pack
You control the posture of the skier through the X and Y position of the mouse cursor. Move the mouse up and the skier straightens out, move down and he’ll crouch. Move left or right and he’ll lean forward or backward. The simulation interpolates every mouse position in between, making the skier move from one posture to another in fluid and natural movements.
First released: Dec 2001
Play Ski Stunt Simulator on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Ski Stunt Simulator 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).
Ski Stunt Simulator 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 Ski Stunt Simulator like you would on any PC.
