Game summary
Smarty is an interactive storybook designed for girls aged 7-12. However, like designer Theresa Duncan's earlier game, Chop Suey, it can be enjoyed by almost anyone. It follows a little girl named Mimi, who is the smartest kid on her block. There are many different activities to play. You can also interact with many of the game's background items, which provide funny animations or fantastical scenes.
First released: Dec 1996
Play Smarty on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Smarty 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).
Smarty installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Smarty like you would on any PC.
