Game summary
The Curse of Ra puts a new spin on the classic Mahjongg game. It introduces new elements such as bombs, magnets and walls, and uses the one-layer two-angles arcade rules.
Work your way through 50 cleverly designed levels with increasing difficulty which will challenge both your mind and logic. You can play either in single or various multiplayer modes.
Also known as "Rahjongg: The Curse of Ra", it was first released commercially by eGames and as shareware by UsedStar; the shareware version contained the first sixteen levels of the game (available to download on the Curse of Ra website). An add-on mission pack, Ra's Revenge containing fifty extra levels was also released by both eGames and UsedStar.
Ra's Revenge and the other mission packs are also available on the Curse of Ra website.
First released: Dec 1998
Play The Curse of Ra on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play The Curse of Ra 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).
