How to play Sonic Jam 6 on Mac
Game summary
Sonic Jam 6 is a version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (the bootleg version) featuring Sonic instead of Mario. This version replaces the title screen with ported version of Sonic Jam's and includes a screenshot of the Sega Mega Drive version of Sonic 3D Blast's intro to overlap Mario's face on the level intro/status screen. However, his face wasn't removed in the bonus areas.
First released: Dec 1998
Play Sonic Jam 6 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Sonic Jam 6 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).
