It depends on the game, and how the game was written. An optimized port of a PC game will run well enough, while a VM of the Windows version will compare favorably to a poor port.
It also matters which VM solution you're using, and what GPU calls the game needs. How much extra headroom does the Mac have to run Windows?
You are correct, but I am interested in older games that used to run on 500Mhz and 1Ghz from pre-2004 days. IIRC I did run a game in a Parallels VM and it run surprisingly well and cool. On the opposite, I did run old games on Mac(guessing using Wine) and these pumped the CPU to the max. So I was wondering.
I didn't ask for specifics like run game X or VM software X using machine X because that would be too specific of a request which is probably members here might not have, I just wanted to get a general idea from someone who already is running Win10 on his setup.
The trial Windows is useful for trying things out without having to purchase it outright.
thank you for saving me the search

Playing games in a VM is like me playing soccer. No go.
Use Bootcamp.
yes, but I didn't clarify I am looking for older games that used to run on hardware probably weaker than an iPhone 6 spec. It might work well. I don't expect something like GTAV to run at all.
