Game summary

Super Wolfenstein HD is a short Wolfenstein 3D fangame made for the PewDiePie Game Jam developed in 72 hours. It offers a short amount of levels inspired by the original game with a full 3D engine as the main difference. Every level is built up out of blocks and the player can chip away at them Minecraft-style to break through walls and create passages. Enemies such as soldiers and dogs have exaggerated physics, causing them to stumble around. The three available weapons are throwing knives, a pistol and a shovel. The first two have a limited amount of ammo, but thrown knives can be picked up again. The shovel can be used to knock weapons out of enemies' hands. There are also health packs and by breaking through certain walls secret areas can be discovered. Instead of the typical catchphrases enemies will for instance shout 'Oktoberfest'.

Play Super Wolfenstein HD on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Super Wolfenstein HD 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).
