How to play Chubby Gristle on Mac

Game summary

Chubby Gristle is one of the fattest car park attendants ever and as the game progresses he is likely to get even bigger. On a good day he's barking out instructions such as "You can't park here" but if you happen to be in favour he'll probably mumble "I'll have a word with t'Commissioner and try and sort something out for you". Love 'em or hate 'em, car park attendants can't be ignored! Chubby's one passion in life is FOOD and plenty of it and his aim is to eat his way through 20 screens stuffing himself silly and reaching that one ton mark. If he doesn't, then the consequences of being sent to a health farm just don't bear thinking about! Throughout the game you need to collect certain items to help you later on but be choosy as not all items will help you. If Chubby is successful in the mission through the screens and weighs in at one ton, his reward will be to go home to Mrs. Gristle for a good fry up or a steak and kidney pie followed by Spotted Dick. So it's up to you to help Chubby in his conquest to become a one ton giant.
First released: Dec 1988

Play Chubby Gristle on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Chubby Gristle 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).
