Game summary

'Mad Meteor' Mike became the more powerful wrestler on Earth, and after winning WrestleDeath XL 1986, he ascended and transformed into a cosmic titan of wrestling power. Too big for Earth and hungry for foes to challenge him, Mike travelled through space, slamming planets to fuel his powers while ancient Wrestle-Lords try to take him down. Dodge and outmanoeuvre rivals while building up power, then slam them out of the galaxy when the time is right. Grab folding chairs, TVs and other weapons to put the odds in your favour! 'Generate-a-Wrestler' feature gives the powerful Wrestle-Lords unique names and appearances as you fight through space, who knows who you'll be drop-kicking next?

Play SpaceWrestler XL on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play SpaceWrestler XL 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).

SpaceWrestler XL installation steps for Mac
