How to play Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Hot Scramble on Mac
Game summary
Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Hot Scramble (機動戦士Ζガンダム・ホットスクランブル Kidou Senshi Gandamu: Hotto Sukuranburu?) is a 1986 multi-genre video game developed by Game Studio and published by Bandai for the Family Computer. It is based on the anime Mobile Suit Z Gundam, and is one of the first Gundam video games.
Aside from the much later Famicom Mini release, there were two versions of the game: the original release; and a special release of the central location test version, sometimes dubbed Final Version. Only 1000 copies of this second version were ever released, making it among the rarest video games in history.
First released: Sep 1986
Play Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Hot Scramble on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Hot Scramble 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).
