How to play The New Zealand Story on Mac
Game summary
The NewZealand Story (ニュージーランドストーリー Nyū Jīrando Sutōrī?) is a 1988 arcade game developed and published by Taito. The player controls Tiki (ティキ?), a kiwi who must save his lover Phee Phee (ピューピュー?) and several of his other kiwi chick friends who have been kiwi-napped by a large blue leopard seal. The player has to navigate a scrolling maze-like level, at the end of which they release one of Tiki's kiwi chick friends trapped in a cage.
Play The New Zealand Story on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play The New Zealand Story 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).
