How to play The Pro Yakyuu on Mac
Game summary
The Pro Yakyuu is a baseball game that allows players to compete in Japan's professional baseball league, with licensed team and player names. Versus mode allows competition between two players; in a friendly game, the computer AI chooses an opponent for the team selected by the player; the "Open" mode is a tournament in which players can assign controllable teams to themselves and to the AI. The game itself can be set on "Action", "Simulation", or "Auto" mode, with varying degrees of realism. Pitchers and batters are controlled from a third-person view, while baserunning is viewed from an overhead perspective.
First released: Dec 1990
Play The Pro Yakyuu on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play The Pro Yakyuu 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).
The Pro Yakyuu installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.

Step 4
