Game summary
Percy The Potty Pigeon is a 1984 computer game developed by Shaun Hollingworth and released by Gremlin Graphics for the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. The goal was to fly around and collect sticks to build your nest. The player could also deficate on cars, and make them crash.
This game marks the beginning of Ben Daglish as a composer, although all he did was write the notes for the death tune in the game, it is still this game that got him into composing game music for the Commodore 64. The Commodore 64 version was programmed by Anthony Crowther.
First released: Dec 1984
Play Potty Pigeon on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Potty Pigeon 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).
