How to play Dad n' Me on Mac

Game summary

Dad n' Me is a brawler/ fighting game created by Tom Fulp and Dan Paladin, creators of Alien Hominid,in 2005. It is seen by many as the game which popularized flash games, as for its time it was unique as it was very advanced in a genre that was seen by some as primitive. The objective of Dad n' Me is to travel across a level and to beat up any children and bullies who stand in your path. Once a group of children is encountered, the player's progress will be stopped until they have defeated all the enemies in the area. Various objects can be interacted with in various ways. For example, some objects can be picked up and thrown. others might explode when being hit, and there is even an interactive soccer game midway through that can be played.

Play Dad n' Me on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Dad n' Me 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).
