That is it!
Borrowed Time was one of three (I think) illustrated text adventures developed by Interplay and published by Activision. I really liked it on the ST back in the day. It’s only real problem was random death. Literally random. You needed to quick save regularly.
It was later re-released as Time to Die.
Based on the box I would assume it’s a 1990s FMV adventure, though the Activation logo is clearly older than that.
Turns out, looks-wise, it’s a combo of interactive fiction and an early 80s RPG!

I do miss that “image inset in a control panel” look that old games had.
1985/1986 ST and Amiga ports. It came out early in their lives. It was a seminal game for me on the ST. Despite being an adventure, I replayed it although not as often as I replayed Tass Times in Tonetown which I posted earlier in the thread. (Now after reading your post, I wish it had had RPG elements though!)
I never really got anywhere in the game, though I remember trying to play it several times.
Can someone take my turn please? I’m swamped atm, and won’t be able to make an image until day after tomorrow at earliest.
Racing Destruction Set?
I think I owned that game: Chuck Yeager’s Advanced Flight Trainer?
Super Boulder Dash?
Sentinel Worlds “1”.
I’m not very bright.
The infamous typo cover of PGATour 94 for Playstation.
PHATour 94?
Did it really happen? :0
Hard Hat Mac? I don’t remember the box but the name/font/theme fits.
That’s it!
The game is mostly notable for having an OSHA inspector as one of the enemies that the player has to avoid, which sparked some controversy. I remember having the game and playing it, but at 9 or 10 had no idea what an OSHA inspector was.
Damn I have no idea what this is. Have to check it out!
