How to play Tomb Raider: The Prophecy on Mac

Game summary

Tomb Raider: The Prophecy is the first game for the Gameboy Advance. Lara is now in a quasi-3D overhead environment, as opposed to the 2D-platformer view of the previous handheld versions. This view proves helpful while Lara runs, jumps, shimmys, and shoots around. Although there is lack of a save feature, there is a password system which lets you restore back to 'almost' where you left.
First released: Nov 2002

Play Tomb Raider: The Prophecy on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Tomb Raider: The Prophecy 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).

Tomb Raider: The Prophecy installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.

Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Tomb Raider: The Prophecy like you would on any PC.
