How to play Catloaf 2600 on Mac

Game summary
Catloaf 2600 is a small, minimalist, retro-style type of game. You are Catloaf. Through mysterious means, the nemesis foe, Master Meatloaf, has planted you inside his twisted creation, a labyrinth of puzzles and traps.
The goal is to find your way through the maze and to Master Meatloaf himself, who is waiting at the end. The path is blocked by a series of puzzles. Find keys to unlock doors, push secret walls to reveal new rooms, move a boulder down a corridor to complete a sokaban-style puzzle, and memorize the path around traps before the lights go out. Switches shift the walls of the maze to reveal new paths and secrets. The graphics are drawn with all ASCII characters. You use the keyboard to navigate.

Play Catloaf 2600 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Catloaf 2600 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).
