Game summary

After years of simmering unrest, Marxist Rebels have obtained a foothold within the Armed Services and found sympathetic comrades to lend both a voice and weapons. While a full-blown coup d'etat is not yet underway, a few early high profile rebel victories could quickly turn the tide. US forces have been called in to put a halt to these terrorist acts. You are a member of task force 121, an elite cover unit comprised of Navy Seals, Green Berets, Army Rangers and USMC Recon personnel. Your mission is to thwart the Marxist Rebels before they can recruit allies and significantly damage US interests.

Play Combat: Task Force 121 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Combat: Task Force 121 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).
