How to play Batman: The Caped Crusader on Mac
Game summary
The penguin is back, and he's set himself up as a respectable umbrella merchant. Or has he? Could the umbrella factory be just a cover for his plot to take over the world with an army of robotic penguins? As Batman you must match clues you've collected to locate the master computer and - POW! ZAP! CRUNCH! - Put an end to the demented squawkings of that overweight birdbrain.
But that's not all! As soon as you've taken care of the Penguin, the Joker pulls off his greatest feat of sleight of hand - he kidnaps Robin! At the scene of the crime, you must gather all the facts. Then, while the trail is still hot, you're off on a crime solving adventure. Grab your batarang and rev up the Batmobile - because if you don't reach Robin in a hurry, the last laugh will be on you! HA, HA, HA, HA!
First released: Dec 1988
Play Batman: The Caped Crusader on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Batman: The Caped Crusader 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).
