How to play Mega Man Revolution on Mac
| Platforms | Computer |
Game summary
Mega Man Revolution is an unofficial fangame created by Fifth Independent. It features two playable characters: Mega Man and Bass, 8 original Robot Masters, an additional 8 Special Weapons which are unique for Mega Man and Bass, quite a few stage gimmicks and some original enemies as well as returning enemies. It is in 8-bit style, with meticulous attention paid to keeping it up with the limitations of the NES where even sprite flicker may be present (although this can be shut off in the options) and the soundtrack was made in Impulse Tracker, with the program OpenMPT.
In 2015, the project was taken over by Sprites Inc and entitled as Mega Man Revolution Remix in order to improve the quality of the game, design-wise, graphically, and musically in addition to making Proto Man a playable character.
Play Mega Man Revolution on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Mega Man Revolution 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).
