How to play The Dark Queen of Krynn on Mac
| Platforms | Platform, Computer |
Game summary
After successfully fighting the evil forces trying to conquer Krynn, the supreme evil itself wishes to take over the fight. Once again, it’s time to protect the land! As in the previous adventures, you need to build up your party, or import it from the previous game. If you prefer to, or haven’t played the previous game, you can create all-new characters.
The gameplay in Dark Queen of Krynn remains similar to the first two games, although the opponents do get tougher. The biggest difference is in the graphics. This game already features the 256 color VGA graphics. The sounds are supported by a SoundBlaster card, but the sound hasn’t really improved all that much.
First released: Dec 1992
Play The Dark Queen of Krynn on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play The Dark Queen of Krynn 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).
