How to play Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 13: OutRun on Mac

Game summary

OutRun is an upgrade of the 1986 arcade release of OutRun, presented entirely in 3D. Whereas the "original" mode is almost identical to the arcade game (with an option to switch between the slightly different Japanese and overseas courses), an "arrange" mode offers an entirely new course, rival cars and more mountainous terrain to take advantage of the 3D visuals. There is also an arranged soundtrack.
First released: May 2004

Play Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 13: OutRun on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 13: OutRun 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).
