How to play Samurai Nihon-Ichi on Mac
Game summary
Very difficult, highly obscure action fighter in the vein of Kung Fu Master. Here, move left to right through feudal Japan settings (bamboo forests, over bridges, clearings, villages, etc.) while dealing with various enemies that will kill you with one blow! And no continues either! You have overhead strikes or low, rising strikes with your sword to dispatch your enemies with (fortunately they only take one blow as well). You can also duck or jump by pressing down or up on the joystick, respectively.
First released: Jun 1985
Play Samurai Nihon-Ichi on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Samurai Nihon-Ichi 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).
