How to play Rush Hour on Mac
Game summary
You are speeding along on a five lane highway during rush hour dodging several obstacles like nails, barricades or destroyed cars. Your mission is to destroy the perpetrators causing traffic jams in blasting them off the street. Collisions of any sort will slow you down and eventually cause your car to break down.
The game was set for a 1983 release but was ultimately cancelled. In 2003, however, the CGE Services Corp. acquired the rights and released it at the Classic Gaming Expo in 2003.
First released: Dec 2003
Play Rush Hour on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Rush Hour 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).
Rush Hour 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 Rush Hour like you would on any PC.
