  1. My experience report: I'm living in the Apple Eco-System too. My computers are quite old, Mac Book Air from 2012, Mac mini from 2010. I'm not a gamer at all. When I discovered tower!3d pro I could't help myself but had to play it. My first idea was off course to try it on my Macs. I first had to learn about the virtual machines that are available. First I fiddled with VirtualBox, tried with several versions of windows to get them running but to no avail. With Parallels I managed to set up a virtual Windows 10. But when I finally had installed the game, it run with one frame per second or even less (on TIST!). Clearly an issue with the old hardware. Next step for me was to buy a mini pc with a graphic card (Nvidia GT930M). That worked, but immediately put the graphic card to its limits. I had to switch off all graphic niceties. With that I had some nice gaming hours with LAX. But running Atlanta was not possible because the frame rate slowed down to one fps again, when the view was over the terminals. So now I have what the dealer called a gaming pc with a GEFORCE GTX 1060 and tower!3d runs smoothly. If someone manages to get this game decently running on a Mac with a virtual Windows, I am curious to know what Mac hardware is nessessary to do that.
