How to play J. League Pro Striker Final Stage on Mac

Game summary

Pro Striker Final Stage (プロストライカー ファイナルステージ) is a 1995 football game by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive made with the J. League license. Though arguably a "sequel" to J. League Pro Striker, J. League Pro Striker Perfect and J. League Pro Striker 2, Final Stage in fact uses an entirely different engine (most notably, the game is played horizontally rather than vertically) with many more added features.
First released: Sep 1995

Play J. League Pro Striker Final Stage on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play J. League Pro Striker Final Stage 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).
