How to play Dominus on Mac
Game summary
Dominus is a strategy game developed by Visual Concepts and published by U.S. Gold, originally released for IBM PCs in 1994. Conversions to the Sega Mega Drive and SNES were in development around this time and were set to be published by Asciiware. However, for unknown reasons, both versions were cancelled.
A prototype ROM of the Mega Drive version, dated 1993, has since been unearthed, showing an incomplete game without any sound.
First released: Jan 1994
Play Dominus on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Dominus 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).
Dominus installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Dominus like you would on any PC.
