How to play T-Tris on Mac
Game summary
This may qualify as a first in the history of video gaming. Bastian Schick,
an ambitious gamer from Germany, decides to write and sell his own video
game without benefit of any kind of corporate sponsorship. His effort is
T-TRIS, a version of Tetris for the Atari Lynx. If you've been living in a
cave for the last ten years, Tetris is a game where oddly-shaped blocks
fall from the top of the screen as the player rotates and positions them.
Solid rows of blocks vanish to make room for more, and the pieces fall
faster as time progresses. The game ends when there's no more room in the
pile.
Play T-Tris on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play T-Tris 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).
T-Tris 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 T-Tris like you would on any PC.
