How to play Sagaia on Mac

Game summary

Sagaia for Game Boy (commonly known as Darius II) is a shoot 'em up video game originally released in 1991 for the Game Boy in Japan only. This game is a original title for the handheld console, mixing elements from the first two games while featuring its own unique levels. This game is single player only, not featuring formation bonuses and zone selection at the end of the levels, but the ending is divided into three depending on the difficulty. Since the game is on a monochrome system, items are identified by different symbols instead of colors.
First released: Dec 1991

Play Sagaia on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Sagaia 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).

Sagaia installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2

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 Sagaia like you would on any PC.
