How to play Rockin' Kats on Mac

Game summary

It's a Dance with Danger when Willy tries to rescue Jill! The hippest cool Kat in New York, Willy, is hot on the tail of local crime boss, Mugsy. The fur's gonna fly 'cause Mugsy just cat-nabbed Willy's girl, Jill, and stashed her away. To find her, Willy has to face hoods on the streets of the Big Apple, duel desperados in the wild west, dog-fight Ace Pilots at 40,000 feet, and avoid being de-railed at an amusement park. But he's not called the Rockin' Kat for nothing, and when he starts break dancin' and body slammin' his enemies, make room on the dance floor!
First released: May 1991

Play Rockin' Kats on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Rockin' Kats 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).

Rockin' Kats installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.

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 Rockin' Kats like you would on any PC.
