How to play Bass Class on Mac

Game summary

Learn the secrets of bass fishing by casting off with Bass Class. In this simulation you will select all the small details that will determine whether you catch the big one or go home empty handed. Six different rods and 2300 different lure combinations are how specific the details get. You can even choose whether you want to use an outboard motor, trolling motor or paddling to get to where you want on one of the six different lakes in this game. Once in your location of choice via keyboard controls make your lure/rod selections and cast off using the mouse or keyboard watching out for hazards. Control your line and reel in and maybe you'll catch one of the dozens of different kinds of fish in each lake. LCD Depthfinders and other accessories will help you locate the best place to cast off. After fishing in the given time you must make it back to the weighing station and get your catch weighed against the AI players' catch. Only then will you know if you've learned anything about bass fishing.

Play Bass Class on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Bass Class 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).

Bass Class installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2

Step 3

Step 4
