Game summary
Aries was a peaceful and calm planet for millennia; however, it is now faced with its worst crisis. The deadly army of Obellon fighters led by General Don Jingi, the evil merchant known to do anything for personal gain, is out to steal the “Starlight,” a powerful source of energy that could destroy the universe if misused. You must properly guide the “Hunting Dog” fighter-plane along with Hawk and Esty (special undercover agents protecting the Galaxy) to destroy Obellon before they destroy the world.
You are the last resort of our planet.

Play Gate of Thunder on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Gate of Thunder 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).
