How to play Captain Dynamo on Mac
Game summary
Captain Dynamo is a platform game developed by Codemasters and released in 1992. Versions were published for the Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and MS-DOS.
Captain Dynamo, an aging superhero, is brought out of retirement to recover a haul of stolen diamonds from the trap-infested rocket-ship of the villainous Austen Von Flyswatter.
The game is a vertically scrolling platformer in which the player attempts to collect as many diamonds as possible in each stage and then enter the teleport unit at the top. The task is complicated by various mechanical hazards and creatures.
The game was later ported for play on mobile phones.
First released: Dec 1992
Play Captain Dynamo on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Captain Dynamo 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).
