Maximum Force (1997)
Genres:Shooter, Arcade
Game modes:Single player
Story:Maximum Force is a light gun shooter arcade game developed by Mesa Logic for Atari Games in 1997. In 1998, Atari Games re-released the game as part of one machine called Area 51/Maximum Force Duo that also included Area 51, and later ported the game to both the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn game consoles.
Like its predecessor Area 51, Maximum Force is notable for its use of digitized video stored on an on-board hard disk, and the bizarrely contrasting unrealistic gibs into which every enemy blows apart when shot, in exactly the same way. While enemies, innocents, and explosions are 2D digitized video sprites, the levels and vehicles are pre-rendered in 3D.Show more

Light-gun technology game machine.
Childhood memory. One of my earliest encounters with action video games. I am happy that I figured out it's name as I was too young to even know how to read back then.
The Maximum Force game machine was onboard the big old sea-crossing ferry that I and thousands more travelled with countless of times to the world abroad. The voyage took two days so we had plenty of time to relax, rejuvenate and most importantly play in.
Eventually the game machine was either sold or broke down, albeit it is onboard the old ferry no more. It would be interesting to see it again in action.
It is worth preserving as it had interesting graphics and playstyle. Also worth mentioning Maximum Force, likewise the Times Crisis series, is a part of video game Light-gun history. Therefore it deserves a honorable seat among the classics and be available to anyone anytime.
In the end, no matter how good or bad they might be, all classic video games are a part of video game history and eventually all should be made available to the future generations.
Might I remind you that Light-guns are still in the making and available to purchase.
