How to play Resident Evil: Dead Aim on Mac

Game summary

Resident Evil: Dead Aim is a 2002 PlayStation game produced by Production Studio 3. Dead Aim was produced under the Gun Survivor title, which was used for several games made for the Namco light gun controllers. The game was not part of Shinji Mikami's Nintendo exclusivity plan for neighbouring Studio 4, and did not get a GameCube release. In a combination of a horror game and light-gun game, Resident Evil: Dead Aim puts you on a cruise ship infested with zombies. You'll pick up several different guns through the course of the game, including a magnum, a shotgun, and an assault rifle, but like in other Resident Evil games, zombies are difficult to put down permanently, and ammo can be very scarce.
First released: Feb 2003

Play Resident Evil: Dead Aim on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Resident Evil: Dead Aim 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).
