How to play Pinky and the Brain: The Master Plan on Mac

Game summary

Pinky and The Brain have a new plan to seize world supremacy. After a TV report on a new meteorological station in space, Brain comes up with a plan to modify the station in order to control the weather and thus bring the powerful of this world to their knees. As usual, the plan is put down on paper and Brain soon notices that it is impossible to execute this plan in one evening. After all, this is... the Masterplan. Unfortunately, the plan is stolen overnight by two lab rats. Help Pinky and The Brain recover the plan, leading them through 20 levels in 5 different worlds collecting the pieces of the plan that Roofus and Doofus, the two lab rats, lose on their way. Follow them through the laboratory in a submarine, a jeep and even into space.

Play Pinky and the Brain: The Master Plan on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Pinky and the Brain: The Master Plan 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).
