About The Game

Mag Max is an horizontally scrolling arcade video game shoot-em-up in which a single player takes control of a hovership and must battle their way through an enemy-packed level; moving both above and below ground during the course of a level.

At various points the player will come across robot parts, either a torso or a pair of legs. Collecting these will eventually see the player's hovership become a towering robot, vastly increasing available firepower in the process.

Trivia

Released in July 1985.

Some enemies from Nichibutsu's earlier game "Seicross" also appear as enemies in Mag Max.
