Game summary
WildWaters is an unreleased game for the Nintendo 64.
In development at Looking Glass in 1999, this kayak title was only shown behind closed doors at that year’s E3 expo. When the developer closed shop, the title disappeared. The following info was used in the announcement of the title:
The water-based arcade racer will offer six different characters to choose from as well as three different kayak types, each with their own respective strengths and weaknesses. Wildwater will send up to two players down six perilous river courses, highlighted by realistic water physics and eye-popping graphics. Ubi Soft is promising five different gameplay modes, including Arcade, Time Trial, Championship, Finals and Versus Battle.
Play WildWaters on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play WildWaters 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).
WildWaters installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
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 WildWaters like you would on any PC.
