How to play Super Metroid: Ancient Chozo on Mac

Game summary

Ancient Chozo is an expansion of the original Game that contains the original Super Metroid Map layout with extra largest new rooms and areas locations, plus new routes to find. Ancient Chozo started from Project Base Hack, but it's not the same, it has new color palette for the entire game, and even more places to explore plus new custom enemies, moves, puzzles, music, and some few more stuff The new routes makes the game more interesting and more fun to explore. My intention was to keep the original route of Vanilla and add some new routes that can curious players could find, and also the players with good skills can break the Game Sequence. The gameplay now rewards both types of players, those who likes going faster, can now beat the game faster than cause they have new shortcuts and new routes to travel between each area much faster! On the other hand, those who like exploring or breaking the game sequence, now gets most of the upgrades and power ups! Although it's a task not to easy to perform! Chozo Hack focused on Explorations and most of the original items locations has been changed! There's a lot of new secrets to discover, new areas, new rooms and no longer have the help of the X-Ray vision, but there's a new feature find them, so the players can feel curious finding new secrets and upgrades using a different method, so that makes the adventure even more interesting and enjoyable. I've have added more rooms and more areas also new gfx and I'll be adding some more in future versions.

Play Super Metroid: Ancient Chozo on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Super Metroid: Ancient Chozo 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).
