How to play Barnsley Badger on Mac

Game summary

Meet Barnsley, a lazy, good for nothing badger whose addiction to gambling has got him into all sorts of trouble. One night in his local boozer he overhears a conversation. A gold coin was discovered in the nearby graveyard, a coin carved with the head of the fabled ruler Tutanbodger on one side. If Barnsley can find the lost treasure of Tutanbodger it would solve all his money problems. A great journey awaits - as long as he doesn't fall asleep on the way! Featuring: • Huge 120 screen map to explore! • Various weird and wonderful meanies to avoid! • Collectible items to power-up your badger! • Gorgeous retro-style hi-res graphics! • Catchy soundtracks!

Play Barnsley Badger on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Barnsley Badger 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).
