Game summary
Castle of the Winds is a two part graphical adventure game, loosely based on fantasy role playing games, and drawing much inspiration from Norse mythology. Part two concerns the character's efforts to fulfill his or her destiny. To do this, the character must defeat Surtur and recover the stolen Helm of Storms from his possession. Along the way, of course, he or she will be opposed by deadly monsters and traps, but will find treasure and enchanted objects to aid his or her quest.
First released: Dec 1994
Play Castle of the Winds 2 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Castle of the Winds 2 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).
