Game summary
Heavyweight Thunder is a boxing game that features a combination of first- and third-person fights against fictional contenders from around the globe.
The game sports a proprietary SimuPunch system that turns mouse movements into body blows, uppercuts, and combos. Players fight in a number of settings, from bars to blockbuster arenas, and they can use their newfound wealth to buy cars, clothes, mansions, and to take groupies out for a night on the town. Fighters can also blow their earnings in the game's casino, where they can gamble on blackjack, poker, slots, or boxing matches.
Heavyweight Thunder also offers a role-playing element. As players rise to the top, they help manage the careers of up-and-coming fighters. They can also use the game's tools to design boxers and leagues or create tournaments and exhibitions that can be shared via the Web.

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