How to play SWIV 3D on Mac

Game summary
In SWIV 3D you fly/drive a helicopter, 4-wheel-drive jeep, ice buggy, or hovership through a variety of terrestrial and extraterrestrial landscapes. Several stages include garages where you switch from a ground vehicle to an air vehicle and vice-versa. Each of your vehicles carries more firepower than Quino or Campa (see Desperado), with weapons ranging from wimpy missiles to the almighty smart bomb. With over ten special weapons at your disposal, explosions and destruction are plentiful in SWIV.
First released: Oct 1996
Play SWIV 3D on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play SWIV 3D 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).
SWIV 3D 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 SWIV 3D like you would on any PC.
