Great to see this game on Steam. I put untold hours into this classic 20 years ago, and will quite possibly do so again now. So for the uninitiated who are curious, M.A.X. is a simultaneous turn or turn-based strategy / RTS hybrid... Wonder how that works? Well imagine playing the classic Dune 2 / Command & Conquer with all the RTS mechanics in place as a turn based strategy game. Quite simply it was an innovative risk by developers Interplay that actually paid off! As a result, the game was very highly praised by critics back in the day, and is widely regarded by those who have played it to be one of the greatest Turn based games of all time. It's a game which unlike the RTS games of the day, was never copied or cloned. So to this day still remains rather unique! Whilst the graphics have indeed aged (some would say rather well for a game released in 1996), the core gameplay, its mec
I loved this game as a kid! After 20 years I can enjoy it again, I am super happy! This was a piece of art and it's still a nice game to play. It's a pity for the 640x480 resolution, it would be nice to see a remastered edition.
If not few bugs crashing long-play games, and if not some smaller issues (like corrupted saves, crashed after renaming units, forbidding config settigs etc.), this game would be easily the-best-ever strategy game, even for current times. At least, I think of this as the one. This is kind of game, which even with some issues, you want forgive, and you still want to play this game, because is so good.
This Epic game has never had a proper WinXp/7/10 patch. not in 2001, not in 2010 en not in 2017. it doest work on windows later than 98. The game generates an oldskool error message around turn 50-70 . you never get passed this point. Dont Buy, not even for under 5, it doesnt work! (review written with patch 1.04)
ok... I have been reading a lot about M.A.X. since I had seen that Steam has offered it. To be fair, none of us can honestly blame Steam for the bugginess of this game as it was plenty buggy when it came out. The only way I could play it reasonably before Steam offered it was having multiple computers running win 95, and 98 solely and running it the way it was intended. However, if I was lucky, I might be able to get to turn 225. But after that, it was game over. So I had to play it not only with hopes it would go to 200+ and with an endgame in mind. I started to make a list of things that would create M.A.X. to crash, and was able to side-step some crashes. but that only went so far. I tried years ago to install and run it on a win 7 machine with modifications. However the same problems persisted. I did not bother to remove it from my system with hope that I could play this most ente
Still the best TBS ever...really wish there would be an updated version of it - better graphics & UI interface is all this needs to eat another few hundred hours :)
