How to play Pirate on Mac
Game summary
This may be one of those sites that really hits the nostalgia bone in a tasteful way. From what I can tell a Polish website by the name of "Hipopolam" has taken many of the Game & Watch style handhelds and presented them in a way that you can really appreciate artwork and design of the device itself. It's kinda dumb but kinda great at the same time, I thoroughly recommend anyone have a browse who wants to jump back a few decades in LCD technology.
Play Pirate on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Pirate 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).
Pirate installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Pirate like you would on any PC.
