How to play Power-Games on Mac

Game summary

Power-Games is a compilation of over 500 games for the Amiga, CD32 and CDTV. The games are stored both unpacked and as compressed LHA archives on the CD-ROM. When booting the CD on a CD32, a graphical menu is displayed where compatible games can be selected and launched by genre. However, some of the games require either a mouse, a keyboard or both. The games are mostly freeware and shareware, with a couple of commercial demos available as well.
First released: Dec 1994

Play Power-Games on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Power-Games 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).

Power-Games 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 Power-Games like you would on any PC.
