How to play Speed Hawk on Mac

Game summary

As a direct descendant of the legendary hero "Speedhawk", it is your task to stop them by infiltrating their motherships and destroy the mutant guardians (which serve as bosses) at the end of each level. Hostile space fighters and turrets will try to protect their motherships, but if you manage to destroy a space fighter it might give you a power-up. But be warned as they can also be shot and will be destroyed. They also might fly away if you don't collect them in time.
First released: Dec 1988

Play Speed Hawk on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Speed Hawk 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).

Speed Hawk 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 Speed Hawk like you would on any PC.
