How to play Tank Wars on Mac
Game summary
Tank Wars is an action game played from a top down perspective on a single screen. It's a one on one game where the player controls a tank and has to defeat an AI controlled tank. Movement is possible in four directions and the tank will move forward until direction is changed. On the screen are trees, mines and a lake that act as obstacles in different ways. Trees stop the tank and can not be fired through while lakes only stops the tank but can still be fired over. Mines will blow up the tank if moved over. The player has five tanks and when they have all been destroyed the game ends.
First released: Dec 1982
Play Tank Wars on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Tank Wars 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).
Tank Wars installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.

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
