How to play Ultima: Runes of Virtue II on Mac
Game summary
Runes Of Virtue 2 is the sequel to Runes Of Virtue for the Game Boy. Released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as well as the Game Boy, Runes Of Virtue 2 maintains the action-RPG gameplay as the original. In this game, the Black Knight kidnaps Lord Tholden, simply out of boredom. Lord British sends you, the Avatar, out to recover Tholden and return peace to Brittania.
As in the first Runes Of Virtue game you have the choice of selecting one of four characters. And again, there are three modes of difficulty.
First released: Feb 1994
Play Ultima: Runes of Virtue II on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Ultima: Runes of Virtue II 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).
