How to play Wild Snake on Mac

Game summary

A deadly nest of snakes. And only you can keep them from getting out! Maneuver each new snake so it touches another of the same kind, making the venomous viper disappear. Sound easy? As long as you con keep matching up snakes, you're in control. But when those poisonous reptiles pile close to the top, you better run for your life! Both Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear versions of WildSnake were advertised for release, but both were cancelled for unknown reasons. Pototypes of both have since surfaced.
First released: Oct 1994

Play Wild Snake on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Wild Snake 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).

Wild Snake installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Wild Snake like you would on any PC.
