About The Adventures of Mighty Max
The Adventures of Mighty Max is based on the TV cartoon Mighty Max which in turn is based on a series of toys. Max is a kid who possesses a magic cap that allows you to travel across different world and to save people who get in trouble in other dimensions. But his archenemy, the demonic Skull Master, has recently locked all the portals Max was using for inter-dimensional travel. However, the Skull Master has kept some of the portals for himself, keeping there some of his destructive weapons. It's time to destroy those weapons and to stop Skull Master! This is a platform game in which you control Max himself or one of his two side-kicks (that doesn't influence the gameplay). You travel through several different worlds. Your goal is to find Skull Master's weapons, which are scattered around the level, and to destroy them. The levels are timed, and there are also plenty of enemies who will disturb you on your way to the goal.

A slow licensed platformer that critics disliked, cheap in the US and far dearer in Europe.
The Adventures of Mighty Max is an action-adventure platformer based on the Mighty Max television series, developed by WJS Design and published by Ocean Software. Europe got it in November 1994 and North America in February 1995.
Electronic Gaming Monthly's reviewers gave the Genesis version a poor average and found it very slow and unappealing.
What the press said at the time
“This game is so-oo dull. Trundle around level, pick up object, take it to portal, repeat until dead. All the levels are the same.”
Before you buy
Among US carts the loose cart sits below the middle. The European cart usually costs much more than the US one, both loose and complete, so the US cart is the cheaper way in. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
