Synopsis

The second game developed by Mesa Logic for Atari Games and often considered the unofficial sequel to "Area 51" (the real sequel being "Area 51 Site 4").

Maximum Force shares many similarities with Area 51 but uses a more sophisticated sprite overlay system that allows interactive elements to have the same number of colors as the video. The game uses a 16-bit stream for the main video (instead of 15 bits for Area 51). The 2GB hard drive contains about 50 minutes of video.
However, despite more realistic sprites, innocents still do not disappear when shot, and gore content is less important than Mortal Kombat, for example.
Maximum Force was a product of the time when games like Doom were still accused of being at the origin of violent shootings in the United States and where Atari Games wanted to keep its image of "good guy".
