How to play Bang Bang Busters on Mac
Game summary
Bang Bang Busters is a 46 meg action-platform type game from Visco which was originally intended to be released in 1994. It's play mechanics are similar to that of Mario Brothers, Snow Brothers, and similar style games. The two characters can actually "blow up" enemies by puffing them as is done in Dig Dug, and even toss them onto other enemies for chain points. It also contains special bonuses and many stage bosses.
It was rumored that the game was undergoing re-consideration for release in 2000. About a year later, Zupapa by FACE, also from 1994, made it to market instead in 2001. This is why there are two known versions of the game. The 1994 original & the 2000 revision. The game also goes by the names "Bang Busters" and "Bang 2 Busters" by some sources.
First released: Jan 2011
Play Bang Bang Busters on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Bang Bang Busters 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).
