How to play The Simpsons: Return of the Space Mutants on Mac

Game summary

Ay caramba! I thoight I already defeated these creeps! What are they doing back! I can't believe these greasy slimeballs have the guts to go toe to toe with Barthlomew J. Simpson again! Then again, I can't expect such putrid slime to learn the first time. AND these jerks smell like a monster from the bottom of the swamp... like a Swamp Thing! Time to dust off the old X-Ray specs, shake up my favorite can of Brand-X spray paint, and pull off some radical tricks on my skateboard. These space slugs don't know who they are messing with. Bring it on! This is one Simpson you don't want to mess with. THE SPACE MUTANTS have a few words for Bart: That Simpson boy is really dumb! Our homages to him are fake and we are back stronger than ever! So, Bart Simpson, resistance is useless!!! His mutant hunt has already begun but we learned with our errors from the past. We will never be defeated again! Well, looks like Bart is at Lake Terror. I will send an extra amount of my mutant soldiers to kill him!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

Play The Simpsons: Return of the Space Mutants on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play The Simpsons: Return of the Space Mutants 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).
