Game summary

Vision: The 5th Dimension Utopia is an advertising game for the German building society LBS, who sold it rather cheaply in its branches for 20 DM. The setting is an archaeology floating on the sea. You are a new citizen in this city and you've got to work in order to make money for food and the rent of your suite while staying healthy through sleeping and eating enough. The common way to earn money is playing mostly action-oriented mini-games or doing smaller quest (or rather tasks), which also are part of the plot of the game. The game is played in an ego perspective but without a real 3d engine. The game is rendered in still frames which give the illusion of movement trough the city.
First released: Feb 1992

Play Vision – The 5 Dimension Utopia on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Vision – The 5 Dimension Utopia 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).
