How to play Tech Deck Skateboarding on Mac

Game summary

The fingerboard frenzy makes its way (appropriately enough) to hand-held gaming. Featuring X Concepts' line of miniature skateboard decks, TECH DECK SKATEBOARDING challenges you to pull off the same tricks that regular skaters do just smaller. You play as the inimitable Thumb Guy, a lovable mascot who can pull off the fingerboard moves with the best of ¿em. Featuring arcade-style play and animations, the game lets you whip out grinds, ollies, and flips with extreme flair. All of the licensed decks from real manufacturers are here, so you'll be skating in style on your Tony Hawk deck. You'll have access to a limited number of boards at the game's outset, but as you get further and further along the road to glory you'll be able to unlock more responsive outfits and other hidden goodies. With cool graphics, real decks, and totally original gameplay, it's hardcore skating for hardcore fans!

Play Tech Deck Skateboarding on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Tech Deck Skateboarding 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).
