Game summary
Kid Vid Grid is a tile-puzzle game developed and published by Jasmine Multimedia for the PC (supporting early Windows versions) in 1995.
It is one of the two spin-offs (along with Country Vid Grid) of the tile-puzzle game Vid Grid, changing the rock music videos for Hanna-Barbera cartoon shorts. The game is slightly easier due to the longer length of the videos (5-10 minutes as opposed to under 5 minutes).

The game includes 10 cartoon shorts, with one of them ("Stop That Pigeon") hidden until players reach Level 4. Additionally, the game includes a variety of smaller clips from other Hanna-Barbera cartoons for use when players complete puzzles.

Play Kid Vid Grid on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Kid Vid Grid 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).
