How to play Issunboushi no Donnamondai on Mac

Our hero has to save the princess held by a demon, an Oni, with a sewing needle given our small size although our great value makes up for it. We will have to cross the river and face the demons that we meet on our way until we reach the princess. To face the demons we will have to make use of a magic mallet that our enemies randomly release that will give us a few seconds of immunity.

Play Issunboushi no Donnamondai on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Issunboushi no Donnamondai 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).
