How to play Beyond Zero Tolerance on Mac
Game summary
Beyond Zero Tolerance (or Zero Tolerance 2) is a videogame developed by Technopop for the Sega Mega Drive console. It was meant to be a sequel to Zero Tolerance, but it was never finished.
A prototype of Beyond Zero Tolerance (labeled "Build: 062395a", suggesting a build date of 23 June 1995) was released as freeware by its creator (as was Zero Tolerance). Like it's predecessor, Beyeond Zero Tolerance was designed with the Link-up cable in mind for it's cooperative mode. It is mostly the same game as Zero Tolerance bar new graphics, and is far from being complete. All of the music in the prototype is recycled from the first game.
Play Beyond Zero Tolerance on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Beyond Zero Tolerance 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).
Beyond Zero Tolerance installation steps for Mac
Step 1
