Max is an old game with good looks and a lot to be desired compared to the games today, but the one thing this game has that I have not seen in any strategy game today: is the deep thought that must be applied. Because one thing is certain, you will never be able to charge and win in Max ... that's just out.
There is no grouping and none of the other fine stuff like in todays games, but (in my opinion) this game can be made even better if the maps were much bigger, and a veriety of weapons, ships, planes (like bombers) and surface to air missiles.
In a multiplayer game, Max really sports the need for strategy, and that's what makes this game a prize winner. To play Max you must think, even from the off-set of the game. Max is just a very good game, but because it lacks the new stuff into days games ... we have our critics. Yet, no new game you buy offers the critical thinking (especially in multiplayer) that Max will demand! Even in single player mode, you must strategize to win, and you must build to win ... I wish there were addons to this game, I would pay to get it, and play to I pass out! It is a very good old game, one that should be brought back with more and new stuff added to it
