How to play Clif Danger on Mac

Game summary

In Clif Danger players control the titular protagonist who flies through the galaxy with his spaceship when he receives a call for help by the amazon queen Swihip. Her planet Pleasure 6 got invaded from the rather hostile Glox so it is up to him to save her population. The game focuses on the typical run, gun, jump mechanics and as such the plot is not that important. The game offers twenty stages with multiple weapons, where Clif encounters a dozen different enemies and free the amazons from their rather inconvenient position of being bound on plugs.
First released: Jan 1996

Play Clif Danger on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Clif Danger 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).
