How to play The Adventures of Down Under Dan on Mac

Game summary

Dan is a bush pilot with an urgent need for cash—about all he owns of his plane is the air in the tires! Just before the bank decides to repossess his craft, a friend tells him of rumoured fortunes being made. So buckle in and head out into the harsh, remote and baffling Outback in search of huge opals that are apparently just waiting to be picked off the ground. Blue beauties! How hard can that be?
First released: Dec 1995

Play The Adventures of Down Under Dan on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play The Adventures of Down Under Dan 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).
