How to play Sega Screams: Volume 1 on Mac
Game summary
Sega Screams Volume 1 is a demo disc for the Sega Saturn, released exclusively in North America with console bundles. Bizarrely Sega of America released this game twice - initially as Sega Saturn Bootleg II (as a "sequel" to Bootleg Sampler). The product in its Bootleg II form is far less common, though aside from a changed title screen (on some discs), the two discs are identical.
Unlike Bootleg Sampler, Sega Screams Volume 1 opts for the "standard" Saturn demo disc menus often seen in the European Sega Flash series.
Sega Screams Volume 1 was followed by Sega Screams Volume 2.
First released: Feb 1996
Play Sega Screams: Volume 1 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Sega Screams: Volume 1 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).
