How to play Yoshi VS Windows on Mac
Platforms | Computer |
Game summary
Yoshi vs. Windows is a Yoshi fangame created by Supertoad2k. In it you play as Yoshi trapped in a computer, who needs to stop Bill Gates from taking over the world. It is one of the older MFGG fangames and possibly one of the first truly original ones to be submitted to MFGG, and like almost all other fangames at that time, is a platformer.
Yoshi vs. Windows was infamous at the time of release for being an unprotected fangame. This lead to many of its contents being used by other people for other works when the game making tool of choice was The Games Factory. Eventually a "Platinum" version was released by Supertoad2k and Nite Shadow with updated graphics, a save system and of course, was protected so others could not steal things from it. The original is now officially declared open-source, although the game making community today uses more advanced software than TGF, thus rendering it pretty much obsolete.
First released: Dec 2003
Play Yoshi VS Windows on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Yoshi VS Windows 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).
