How to play Time Limit on Mac

Game summary

As a super cop you have limited time to find a bomb in a large building. You can ride elevators, escalators and climb ladders in the search. There are assorted obstacles and bad guys to avoid or shoot -- "Killers" will shoot back. Nice death sequence where the bad guys escape on a helicopter while you go up the screen as an angel. Find the bomb and the bad guys will surrender. Between levels there is bonus stage where you pick from various boxes to get a bomb, bonus stage over, or additional points. Graphics are very blocky and crude, but quite large. The game looks like a variation of Elevator Action but with worse graphics! Music is terribly irritating and the overall game appears quite dated.
First released: Jun 1983

Play Time Limit on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Time Limit 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).

Time Limit 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 Time Limit like you would on any PC.
