How to play Super Family Gerende on Mac

Game summary

Super Family Gelände (スーパーファミリーゲレンデ Sūpā Famirī Gerende) is a Japan-exclusive Skiing video game that was scheduled to sell as a Super Famicom game in 1995; however, it was sold instead as part of the Japanese Nintendo Power download game service, in 1998. The game is the spiritual 2D ancestor to Namco’s We Ski, released in 2008. There are time trials and eight slopes available from all over Japan. The story begins with a fox (or rabbit if the player chooses the female character) wanting to become human so he/she can ski. During the story mode, the player has different tasks in each chapter.
First released: Feb 1998

Play Super Family Gerende on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Super Family Gerende 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).
