How to play Percy Penguin on Mac
Game summary
Percy Penguin is a game similar to Pengo. It features two levels of difficulty (normal and fast), each with 3 lives at the beginning. You command a little penguin on a board who has to win against enemies in the form of green balls.
The penguin can push iceblock away to arrange the board or to crush monsters. There are two ways for wining a level: crushing every monster on the current board or collecting the three diamonds. At the end of a level, the time elapsed is used for score calculation. The penguin can be moved in four directions with a joystick or the keypads and the fire button is used to push the blocks.
First released: Dec 1984
Play Percy Penguin on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Percy Penguin 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).
