How to play Legend of the Seven Paladins on Mac
Game summary
Legend of the Seven Paladins is a finished but unreleased game by Taiwanese studio Accend built on 3D Realms' Build engine (of Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, etc.). While the game was cancelled as Accend never actually licensed the Build engine, it was leaked and released to various pirate BBSes as well as licensed out to a Korean developer that turned their early version into a full release. A fan translation has become available in 2019.
The game is set in medieval China, where the main character is transported from the modern world and finds themselves becoming a hero of the Shaolin Temple and has to uncover a conspiracy to topple the ruling dynasty.
First released: Dec 1994
Play Legend of the Seven Paladins on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Legend of the Seven Paladins 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).
