Game summary

Kyojin no Doshin is a Nintendo god simulation game for the Nintendo 64DD. It was originally released in Japan on December 1, 1999 as a launch title for the 64DD, for which a soundtrack by Tatsuhiko Asano was released on CD by Media Factory, early the next year. Both of these received positive reviews. An expansion was released five months later called Kyojin no Doshin Kaihō Sensen Chibikko Chikko Daishūgou, which takes a very different perspective of the game, featuring short animated clips that the player can unlock after playing the original game. This is the original Nintendo 64DD release, but the game had an enhanced port with better graphics for the Nintendo GameCube, which was released in Europe under the name "Doshin the Giant".
First released: Dec 1999

Play Kyojin no Doshin on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Kyojin no Doshin 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).
