Game summary

In POPGOES ARCADE, you play as a child. You’re not going to be killed by a mysterious man, you’re not going to be stuffed into a suit or given a mask to wear in purgatory. No. Today, you’re just going to play a damn game on a top-of-the-line Popgoes Pizzeria arcade machine. You’re going to play Weasel World. Your favourite. But Weasel World feels… strange today. It plays the same, it looks the same, it... smells the same... But there’s just something wrong about it. And with your little hand at the joystick, you WILL find out what that something is. Until your parents come to pick you up, of course.

Play POPGOES Arcade (2016) on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play POPGOES Arcade (2016) 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).
