How to play Phileas Fogg's Balloon Battles on Mac
Game summary
On the way trying to get round the world in 80 days, Mr Phileas Fogg has stopped to help the Allies against the enemy. To help, Phileas is going up in the air in his hot-air balloon and mapping the enemy territory as well as locating and bombing enemy shacks. Using High Pressure Thrust, the winds, hydrogen gas, and sandbags, Phileas can adjust his height and direction to map and bomb enemy shacks as well as avoiding obstacles and Musketeers firing cannons and muskets. The longer the day goes on and gets warmer the balloon rises and falls quicker.

Play Phileas Fogg's Balloon Battles on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Phileas Fogg's Balloon Battles 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.

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).
