How to play Zero Racers on Mac
Game summary
Also known as G-Zero, Zero Racers would have been the first 3D entry in the F-Zero series. With the F-Zero Grand Prix over, racers now take part in the high-thrill, zero-gravity G-Zero Grand Prix races.
The racers effectively fly around the 3D wireframe circuits. Three of the original racers were confirmed to return (Falcon, Stingray and Goose), and joined by a new craft, Origammy.
A prototype of the game was shown at E3 1996, and it was previewed by Nintendo Power magazine. However, by 1996 the Virtual Boy was already considered a failure and was discontinued shortly after.
Play Zero Racers on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Zero Racers 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).
Zero Racers 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 Zero Racers like you would on any PC.
