How to play Police Trainer on Mac
Game summary
Police Trainer is a light gun arcade game released by P&P Marketing in 1996. A sequel, Police Trainer 2, was released in 2003.
Players have only three lives to complete six exams in each difficulty. Players can lose lives by either failing to reach a quota, not defusing any C4 or letting the guards hit the player. In order to complete the competition mode, players must lose one life on player 1 and lose one life on the other. If the players fail each mode, they can either try the same mode again or select a different mode. If the players completed each mode, they can select another mode until a difficulty is completed. Each difficulty consists of six stages. Players can put initials after completing the Commissioner difficulty. Shooting the incorrect targets receives a –100 points penalty.
First released: Feb 1996
Play Police Trainer on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Police Trainer 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).
Police Trainer installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Police Trainer like you would on any PC.
