How to play Jump Coaster on Mac
Game summary
In this game, you maneuver a caped man along roller-coaster tracks, grabbing money bags and trying to save your girlfriend, all the while avoiding cops and gorillas (which either swing on the ropes and throw deadly bananas and apples at you, or ride in roller-coaster cars, intent on hitting you.)
The game has four screens in each level. Each screen is completed in one of two ways: getting to your girlfriend, or grabbing all the money bags on the screen, then getting the large money bag which appears.
First released: Feb 1983
Play Jump Coaster on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Jump Coaster 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).
Jump Coaster installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Jump Coaster like you would on any PC.
