How to play Atari Masterpieces Vol. 1 on Mac
Game summary
Atari Masterpieces Vol. I is a compilation of classic Atari games developed by Backbone Entertainment and published by Atari for the Nokia N-Gage platform.
In Atari Masterpieces Vol. 1 players could take their scores from any non-Atari 2600 game and post it to an online service called N-Gage Arena. Players could only post scores right after they were obtained, if they chose not to do so at the time then the score could not be posted later.
Atari Masterpieces Vol. 1 also had the option to automatically post any high scores obtained to the service. Before players could post scores it was necessary to have an N-Gage Arena account.
First released: Oct 2005
Play Atari Masterpieces Vol. 1 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Atari Masterpieces Vol. 1 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).
