How to play Circus Lido on Mac
Game summary
A single-screen action game featuring a chameleon that feeds bugs to Venus flytraps.
Circus Lido, or Circus Ride, is an action game published by Uni Post exclusively for the PC Engine.
The goal of the game is to navigate the stage and defeat the enemies using the chameleon's two powers: his long tongue and his prehensile tail. The tongue can be used to capture enemies and spit them out towards the Venus flytraps, which are the only way to remove them from the stage. The tail can be used to climb vines scattered around, which allows the chameleon to ascend through the stage.
First released: Apr 1991
Play Circus Lido on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Circus Lido 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).
Circus Lido installation steps for Mac
Step 1
