How to play Fire Fight on Mac

Game summary
Fire Fight is a Isometric Shoot 'em Up developed by Chaos Works and Epic Games and published by Electronic Arts in 1996. You control a white U-shaped fighter craft with a variety of weapons, and fly missions on various Single Biome Planets destroying ground and air targets and accomplishing specific other objectives, such as rescuing hostages.
The interesting inversion is in the plot- you work for The Empire, attempting to suppress the forces of La Résistance. In practice, The Empire is more The Federation and La Résistance are no heroic Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, so it winds up seeming like Gray and Grey Morality.
Fire Fight has some impressive-looking sprites, satisfying sound effects, excellent music, a decent dialogue and a nice variety of missions.
First released: Dec 1996
Play Fire Fight on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Fire Fight 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).
Fire Fight installation steps for Mac
Step 1
