How to play Wave Race: Blue Storm on Mac
Game summary
Racing atop a bed of dynamically changing waves, gamers must navigate their way through eight different environments under random weather conditions, including the powerful and visually impressive Storm setting, in the sequel to the N64 hit Wave Race. Features tutorial stunt, and time trial challenges, but the biggest single-player attraction is the Championship mode, which offers shortcut-laden Normal, Hard, and Expert circuits, and sends you and seven other racers around eight different course environments loaded with buoys. The difficulty ramps up quickly due to buoy placement and is particularly demanding in the last races of Expert mode where the CPU opponents get downright malicious.

Play Wave Race: Blue Storm on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Wave Race: Blue Storm 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).
Wave Race: Blue Storm installation steps for Mac
