Game summary

This isn't business. This is war. How far will you go? The simultaneous turn-based strategy game that lets you build a corporation atop the bodies of your competition. Use thugs, hackers or the occasional lawyer to get what you want, the way you want. You don't need ethics, just greed, ego and a few wicked instincts. Ever thrown a lawyer off a pier? Hacked into a mainframe to swipe classified information? If not, then it's time you went into business with Tom Clancy's ruthless.com. Find out if you have what it takes not only to survive but to dominate in an industry of cutthroats and corporate raiders. You can forget about ethics- succeeding here means putting all your strategy skills into beefing up your bottom line. But don't worry. You'll have help. A vicious gallery of hackers, thugs and lawyers are waiting to carry out your every greedy whim. And if they fail you, fire them. Or fire at them. Just don't expect this to be some sissy business sim. You and up to five other competitors do whatever it takes to build a software empire. In the end, the only thing anyone will remember is who comes out on top.

Play Tom Clancy's ruthless.com on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Tom Clancy's ruthless.com 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).
