How to play Hansel and Gretel and the Enchanted Castle on Mac
| Platforms | Computer |
Game summary
The classic children's fairy tale in cartoon format with puzzles to solve, and all the drama, realism and music of a feature film. Hansel and Gretel are abandoned in a forest where a Wicked Witch takes them prisoner. They must figure out how to escape, lest she put them in her oven! Two levels of difficulty, and it can also be used as a language learning tool (English, Spanish, German, French, and Japanese), since you can pick one language for dialogue and another for the objects named (or both the same).
First released: Feb 1995
Play Hansel and Gretel and the Enchanted Castle on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Hansel and Gretel and the Enchanted Castle 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).
