Work your way through the evil wizard's maze-like dungeon to find the pieces of the Sword of Saros. When you've found all of the pieces, you can exit the dungeon, ending the game. However, the wizard has sent a bat to hunt you down. When the bat finds you, the wizard will teleport to your spot and send waves of skeletons after you.

Play Sword of Saros on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Sword of Saros 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).
