How to play Sky Gamblers: Cold War on Mac

Game summary

Coming on the heels of its Apple Design Award-winning predecessor, Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders, Cold War presents the next evolution in flight-simulation games with fully re-created cities such as those in Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, and Siberia, realistic weather effects for a more authentic challenge, and interactive cockpits for the most hands-on experience. Weapons have been rebalanced to provide a faithful recreation of early jet history experience. The game also expands on the single player campaign providing diverse missions including classic dogfights, high altitude surveillance, and controlling laser-guided missiles. And in full Sky Gambling finesse, Cold War boasts console-quality graphics and a fully orchestrated soundtrack.

Play Sky Gamblers: Cold War on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Sky Gamblers: Cold War 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).
