How to play Laurel & Hardy on Mac

Game summary

Laurel & Hardy stars the two famous comedians in their quest to throw cream cakes in each others face. The interface is divided into three horizontal parts: the middle one shows the match statistics and the possessions while the other two represent the town from the side. The first order of business is finding the cream cake shop to get ammo. For finding the way in the big city, it is recommended to purchase a map. Various items on the way may help or bring disadvantages, e.g. a bike to become faster (but are forbidden in certain parts of the city) and liquor bottles (soda is good and beer is bad). After a successful hit a point is rewarded and after one has a certain number of points (can be specified before starting the match) he wins.
First released: May 1987

Play Laurel & Hardy on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Laurel & Hardy 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).
