How to play Tonka Space Station on Mac
Game summary
Tonka Space Station features nine different arcade-style games, each covering a different part of life on a space station, from gathering food to fighting off rogue asteroids. Each challenge also features a different Tonka vehicle to help you complete your task, such as driving the TEV (the Tonkonium Extraction Vehicle) with the front mounted drill or speeding through space in a space ship.
The game not only provides arcade action but also teaches the responsibilities associated with running a space station. You start off with a small group of people, and with careful management you can watch your population grow. You can monitor their happiness levels, as well as how productive they are. Remember, these people are counting on you.
So team up with Tonka Joe and see if you have what it takes to build a successful space station. Are you the person for the job?

Play Tonka Space Station on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Tonka Space Station 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).
