How to play Ultima: Exodus on Mac
Game summary
Ultima: Exodus is the first release for the Nintendo Entertainment System of the popular series. Don't expect to able to follow the storylines from the original computer series; this version is completely different and is meant as a stand alone game. At the beginning of the game, you can form your party either from a computer generated randomization or make your own characters if you have the time and talent to do so (there are a TON of different options for characters).
The evil Exodus has risen from the seas to make his new home on a fiery island near Britannia Kingdom. Lord British sends out a plea for the best and greatest warriors known to man to join your group as you set out to defeat this monster. So gather ye weapons and magic spells and take on evils unknown is Ultima: Exodus.
First released: Mar 1989
Play Ultima: Exodus on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Ultima: Exodus 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).
