How to play Wardner on Mac
Game summary
In Wardner, you take on the roll of a short, chubby guy whose name I am not
aware of. The game starts when you and a girl are approached by a wizard
promising a "fantasia" of sorts. You follow the wizard, and he kidnaps the
girl, commenting that she will make a nice gift for Mr. Wardner. We can't
have that, can we?On your quest to save your friend, you have to travel across 5 levels, to
reach the evil Mr. Wardner. You will have to destroy monsters, jump over and
duck under various traps, and collect gold and orbs to help you with your
journey.You have a weapon meter on the bottom of the screen, which shows your
current weapon, and weapon power (1 to 8). All weapons use the same power, so
if you change weapons, you won't lose the power. The power, rather than
making your weapon stronger, lets you fire it faster.
First released: Dec 1987
Play Wardner on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Wardner 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).
Wardner 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 Wardner like you would on any PC.
