How to play Charlie the Duck on Mac
Game summary
Charlie the Duck is a beautifully animated sidescroller designed to be appropriate for gamers of all ages. Charlie can bounce on his enemies; jump, but not fly; and wade in the water, but not dive or swim. A few of the enemies are reminiscent of Super Mario Bros. bad guys — such as goomba-like enemies that come in orange and purple versions, and spiked enemies that look exactly like Spinies — but there are a number of original enemies, including bees.
First released: Dec 1996
Play Charlie the Duck on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Charlie the Duck 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).
