How to play NCAA Gamebreaker 2001 on Mac

Game summary

Like previous games in 989 Studios' GameBreaker series, NCAA GameBreaker 2001 is a counterpart to their NFL GameDay series. You start out as a bottom-rung coach at one of the 115 division 1-A college teams and as your performance increases, you obtain promotions and offers from other schools. At the end of the season, you're able to export your players to NFL GameDay. As with the previous games, broadcaster Keith Jackson returns to provide voice commentary.

Play NCAA Gamebreaker 2001 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play NCAA Gamebreaker 2001 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).
