How to play WWII: Battle Over the Pacific on Mac

Game summary

The time: World War II, the place: the skies over the Pacific Ocean and you are the only pilot who has what it takes to stand a chance against the enemy forces. You'll need your wits about you to gun down bomber and fighter planes as well as battleships and to eliminate fuel tanks, storage buildings and much more. The risks are high but the glory even greater for those brave enough to take on the P38 Lightning and F4U-4 Corsair in high speed dog fights before swooping in to bomb targets on land. The enemy planes are super quick and the pilots ruthlessly skilled, so dont hang about admiring the scenery get in there.

Play WWII: Battle Over the Pacific on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play WWII: Battle Over the Pacific 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).
