How to play P.T.O. IV on Mac
Game summary
From Midway to the Mediterranean, every conquest brings you closer to victory in P.T.O. IV. Set during WWII, this game puts you in charge of US, Japanese, German, or British forces in missions to storm enemy garrisons. In more than 15 regional and two global campaigns, your missions include striking Leyte Gulf and establishing supply lines, ordering German Wolfpack ops in the North Sea, and launching Royal Navy cruisers to intercept Japanese dive-bombers. History is in your hands as you lead 100 battleships into combat while dispatching spies, disrupting trade, and realigning nations.

Play P.T.O. IV on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play P.T.O. IV 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).
