M.A.X. + M.A.X. 2

I love this game. I played this game ten years ago, but I still rememeber one map with my friend. I launched heavy strike with my heavy units like artillery, heavy tanks, and I was destroying everything on my way. I was curious why he is not defending his territory. Suddenly his fast units hit my middle part of my convoy, all supply trucks were destroyed and my invincible army was turned into salvage few rounds later, because lack of ammo and supply for repair bots. If you like real strategy, just buy this game.

I have loved this game since its release. However, 20 years later it still crashes at about 100 turns. Could somebody please fix it!

As the title says, this isn't the best turn-based strategy I played, but it's not bottom of the bucket either. The second game doesn't feel right, it feels like it was included as an afterthought. That is no problem though because I paid $6 for the original M.A.X. I read about it on another site and was shocked a game this old wasn't abandonware yet, then I found it for sale and bought it. Don't regret that buy, the first game is 4-stars but just including the second game left a bad taste in my mouth and knocked the review down to 3, I wouldn't pay for M.A.X. 2 if I could help it.

Since the current available GOG version of MAX 1 (v1.04 - r21516) already contains the last available DOS/32A v9.12 extender, I had very high hopes to see round based gameplay above 100+ rounds... but sadly, nothing changed at all! After I've crossed round 95, either from there the game crashes permanently everytime you try to end the round, or it developes some weird behavior, and finally after round 102-105 it's really game over, at least for me! :(( Tried it on my W8.1 game box with 2 fresh game restarts, until round 95 starts everything runs smoothly, and after hitting round 96 you're doomed! Really sad, because I totally liked MAX 1 since its first appearance back in the 90's (then played on an P75 with W98SE, and already buggy like hell ^^ ), but yeah, since the game never got any proper W2k/XP/Vista/7/8.1/10 upgrade I guess it's finally the end, especially since Interplay seems to be as dead as a doornail right now... their webpage is mostly empty now, but it seems it was still alive some time ago... It's really unbelievable to me that no one was able to do some kind of fan made patch or fix since the 1st release in 1996, and it seems the original developer crew also shifted into another dimension? (or dead already?!) Well, I'm going back to my corner and will shed some tears about the situation... :/

M.A.X. ***** Stars round based nearly everything upgradable by two different ways (gold or time) Sea, Air, Land, Base windowed mode possible different screen solutions possible Very good strategic game and fun for lots of hours but not for a short half hour M.A.X 2 round based and real time overview is less than bad ! no windowed mode ! no different screen solutions as the next game of this franchise it is not even close the the first one
