How to play TaleSpin on Mac
Game summary
TaleSpin is a game based on the television series of the same name, released for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in 1991 and 1992. There's also a Game Gear port which is identical to the Genesis version.
The game was a one player and two player game. In single player mode you could choose between playing as Baloo or Kit, whereas in two player mode, the first player was Baloo and the second player was Kit.
Each character had his own form of defense, Baloo had a paddle ball with very short range while Kit had a slingshot with very long range.
It consisted of many stages with three different versions:
Around the World: Strolling through each stage collecting ten or more boxes of cargo to unlock the main exit.
Airport: The Boss stages where you face Don Karnage and his air pirate henchmen.
Air Battle: You take to the air with Baloo attacking from the Sea Duck or Kit on his airfoil firing his catapult.
First released: Dec 1991
Play TaleSpin on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play TaleSpin 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).
TaleSpin 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 TaleSpin like you would on any PC.
