Game summary
Gatchaman: The Shooting is a vertical shoot 'em up based on the Japanese manga/anime with the same name (Known as Battle of the Planets in the US). You select any of the four characters featured in the game (Ken the Eagle, Joe the Condor, Jun the Swan and Jinpei the Swallow) and shoot your way through 4 action filled stages with increasing difficulty either running riding a vehicle or flying, to in the end defeat the evil Berg Katse. Along the way you can collect power-ups for your weapons to increase your chances of survival.

Play Gatchaman: The Shooting on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Gatchaman: The Shooting 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).
