Game summary

This project was intentionally meant as an in-house family & friends project. Since we noticed many people and online petitions about a certain "vanished" game, we try to create an alternative, free for everyone to play. We can not say this enough, this is not a remake or clone project anymore, this is a complete new game and will take approx 3 years to complete. On the way throug time everyone can play for free through development, the game will grow by each update and more things will be added every update, we will listen to player input. We have a big edge over game companies, we are gamers ourselves. We dont have certain time shedules or rush to finish things, we will use all the time that's needed!

Play Zone X on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Zone X 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).

Zone X 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 Zone X like you would on any PC.
