How to play Sensible Soccer: European Champions on Mac
Game summary
Sensible Soccer: European Champions for the Sega Master System and Game Gear is based on Sensible Soccer: European Champions: 92/93 Edition. The gameplay is identical: a fast-paced, top-down soccer game with emphasis on fast passes and simple control system.
The main difference to the original is all content regarding custom teams is missing. However, in contrast to the 16-Bit version, all pre-set tournaments for national and club teams are still intact. It is also still possible to create own tournaments (cup or championship) with customizable rules with the available teams. The fake athlete names can't be edited.
The proportions of athletes and playfield are identical in both versions, but the on-screen area is reduced on Game Gear.
First released: Nov 1993
Play Sensible Soccer: European Champions on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Sensible Soccer: European Champions 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).
