How to play 3D Ultra Lionel Traintown on Mac

Game summary
3D Ultra Lionel Traintown was released by Sierra in 1999. It's a third person
railroading game. It's sequel, Deluxe, was released in 2000. If you have one or
both of these games, you're really lucky! Me, I got the game back when I was
young and I had a lot of fun with it, and it became my favorite train
simulation game. There's others like Lego Loco, Thomas the Tank Engine, Lionel
Trains Trains-Con!, Trainz, etc., but Traintown and Traintown Deluxe are the
main focus here. It may be simple, but it gets harder as the game progresses.
A port was planned for the Sega Dreamcast, but was cancelled for unknown reasons.
First released: Aug 1999
Play 3D Ultra Lionel Traintown on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play 3D Ultra Lionel Traintown 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).
