Game summary

EmergeNYC is a genre-bending simulation of New York City's Emergency Services. Drive over 30 different firetrucks, police cars, and ambulances alone, or with up to 32 of your friends through busy New York City Streets with blazing sirens and air horns. The game will be set in a fictional dynamic open-world recreation of Manhattan and will give the players the opportunity to step foot in the shoes of a firefighter, police officer, or emergency medical services worker in the Big Apple. They will also be able to act as a dispatcher or incident commander with the ability to manage an emergency scene or operation from above in a real time strategy fashion.

Play EmergeNYC on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play EmergeNYC 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).
