How to play Dragon Blaster on Mac
Game summary
The player controls a small character, which can move horizontally on the bottom of the screen and fire vertically. In the background, an animated castle, dragon, and house can be seen. On each stage, a man on horseback, an alligator, and 4 birds which scroll horizontally across the screen appear. These creatures fire upon the player, and the player must avoid incoming shots. If the player shoots all four creatures, the player advances to the next stage, which is identical to the previous. The player has a total of 3 lives, and when all are list, it's game over.

Play Dragon Blaster on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Dragon Blaster 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).
Dragon Blaster 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 Dragon Blaster like you would on any PC.
