Game summary
Thunder Brigade is a PC game released in 1998. It is an action/arcade tank sim game which involves piloting floating tanks in a sci-fi universe shooting down enemy tanks and destroying enemy installations. The war is fought between 3 contrasting factions on numerous worlds. Developed and published by Interactive Magic and Bluemoon interactive, Thunder Brigade features a 30-mission campaign mode, dozens of single scenarios as well as a scenario editor with almost limitless posiblities. Originaly, the game featured an online multiplayer mode which was similar to single scenario and featured an editor. Unfortunatly, the main connection type, "play on imagic.com" has now closed down so multiplayer no longer works properly. Thunder Brigade however is still popular today thanks to it's addictive gameplay, imaginative universe and the almost infinite possibilities of the scenario editor.
First released: Dec 1998
Play Thunder Brigade on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Thunder Brigade 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).
