How to play Magical Drop 3 on Mac
| Platforms | Portable console |
Game summary
Released in Japan as "Magical Drop III + Wonderful" and in Europe simply as "Magical Drop III", this version packages Magical Drop III: Yokubari Tokudaigou! with a console port of Magical Drop Plus 1!
The game features a slightly slower gameplay pace than the Japanese version, omits the "Arcade" version and gallery from the Japanese release, and translates the game's script into multiple languages. Unlike previous versions released outside of Japan, this game retains the Japanese voice work; similarly, the port of Magical Drop Plus 1! is based on the Japanese version instead of Chain Reaction.
First released: Aug 2000
Play Magical Drop 3 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Magical Drop 3 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).
Magical Drop 3 installation steps for Mac
