How to play TECNO - the Base on Mac
| Platforms | Computer |
Game summary
TECNO - the Base is a sci-fi puzzle-FPS set in the eponymously named Tecno Base, a remote research outpost. An accident in one of the labs causes all the robots to malfunction and attack the human staff. Over the course of the game, you play two playable characters, Alexia and Mika, who must solve a series of puzzles to piece together what happened and escape the base.
TECNO was developed largely by one person, Paolo Cosentino (as GURUY Entertainment), and was originally sold by him directly through the game's website. It was later offered as a freeware download for a time before the website went offline. It was written in Blitz3D and features an impressively full physics engine with thousands of interactable objects and environments.
First released: Oct 2007
Play TECNO - the Base on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play TECNO - the Base 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).
