It is possible to run Microsoft's Access on a MacBook Pro with Parallels Desktop. Parallels creates a virtual Windows computer on the Mac where you can run your Windows software.

If you use an emulator like parallels to run an EXE file will it save on the game made for mac?

Parallels is not an emulator; it is a virtual machine. Also, it does not run programs directly. It instead allows you to run Windows in a box. The Windows installation is completely isolated from the rest of your system, so there is no exchange of files unless you specifically set up some form of file sharing. As such, saved games in Windows in Parallels will not automatically be transferred into the Mac version's folder.
