ADMIT IT.

Sometimes you’d feel better if you could just shoot everything in sight. (But then there’s that death penalty thing.)

Time to lock and load, pal. Straight from arcades everywhere, here comes Maximum Force, where it’s you against elusive terrorists and you control the body count. You’ll board helicopters, ATV’s, underwater vehicles and shoot literally everything in sight. Gun down slimeballs on three completely different missions. Blast your way into over 35 secret rooms and blow away everything with extreme prejudice. With Maximum Force, there’s no such thing as too much firepower.

MAXIMUM FORCE. Go ahead, pull the trigger.

 

 

 

Enclosures

The print run of Maximum Force had a nifty contest. Consumers would open the case to reveal a poster that had a questionnaire on it. They would have to take it to the arcades and use the arcade machine to answer said questions. Once completed, they’d send it off to Midway. The poster is featured below.

 

Variants

There are no known “plain” versions of Maximum Force, which would need to be factory-sealed to prove the case. Contest versions of Maximum Force have a giant sticker on the back calling out the contest – See the scan at the top of the page.

Trivia

  • Runs on the same engine concept as Area 51, but with human enemies rather than aliens and human experiments.
  • The game features 35 hidden rooms, each requiring some sort of on-screen activation to open. For example, shooting all the vents in one room, or shooting all the hanging photos in another.
  • The “Maximum Cool” contest promised $12,000 in various prizes along with the chance to star in the Area 51 sequel.

 

 

Secrets

Maximum Force will eventually have its rooms mapped out, but for now…arcade mode!

  • Arcade Mode
    Press Select, Start, Select, Select, Start, Select(x3), Start, Select(x4), and Start at the Options screen. You will hear a sound effect to confirm entry. Exit back out to the title screen and you will see “Arcade Mode Unlocked” flickering. Now the arcade’s secret areas will be available.
