Games with Parallels

[Axeman21]

I currently run Parallels V 3.0 on my IMac. Has anyone tried running Windows based games in this environment? There aren't any real good flight sims for Mac, and I wanted to get some windows based games going if I could. Thanks.

I don't own Parallels 3.0, but from what I have read it does not support DirectX 9+, which means you are limited to games that are a few years old or earlier. I feel confident they will update the app later to support later games, but at the moment it is a little limiting.Frankly I'm amazed they have been able to achieve any support for the GPU. VMware have been claiming it was impossible!


WHy don't you download a few demo games and try them out?
