How to play Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally on Mac
Game summary
Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally is the sequel to Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race, although the two games are very different. In a departure from its predecessor, Famicom Grand Prix II features a behind-the-car view. Rather than consisting of a handful of short tracks, 3D Hot Rally provides three long tracks consisting of a variety of different terrain types giving the feel of an actual rally race. As the name implies, the game allows you to use the Famicom 3D System glasses to give the race a real feeling of depth.
First released: Apr 1988
Play Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally 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).
