help Maximum Force FAQ
Was Maximum Force an arcade game?
Yes. Atari Games developed and published Maximum Force as a 1996 arcade rail shooter rather than as a free-roaming console action game.
How do you play Maximum Force?
The player uses a light gun to shoot enemies while the game moves through predetermined stages. Because it follows a fixed path, the challenge is aim, timing, and target priority rather than choosing where to walk.
What is the story of Maximum Force?
Its campaign uses a counter-terrorism and drug-war setup, presented through live-action digitized video. That combination gives the 1996 Atari Games shooter an action-film presentation.
Is Maximum Force a first-person shooter like Doom?
It is a rail shooter, so the machine controls the route through each stage while the player controls aiming and firing with the light gun. That makes it closer to an arcade gun game than to Doom's free movement on a 3D map.
