How to play Castle Chaos on Mac

Game summary

Castle Chaos is a turn-based fantasy adventure game where you guide one of four heroes through a chaotic castle. Your goal is to reach the treasure room in the center of the castle, grab as much gold as you dare, and make it safely to the outside. But this task is not an easy one; the castle's passageways are different every game, there are traps to catch the unwary, and a deadly horde of minions is on the prowl. As if all that weren't enough, the treasure chamber is patrolled by the evil wizardess herself.
First released: Dec 1998

Play Castle Chaos on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Castle Chaos 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).

Castle Chaos installation steps for Mac

Step 1

Step 4
