Game summary

Time Twister is the second expansion pack to the game RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, and is based on a time theme, exploring various time periods. The expansion pack offers many new themed rides, scenery items, and scenarios. Much like with Wacky Worlds, this pack was also criticized for its lack of new gameplay options or new rides, since the rides included in the expansion pack are merely re-designs of previously available rides.
First released: Aug 2003

Play RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Time Twister on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Time Twister 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).
