    Overview

    Maximum Force is a modern-military on-rails light-gun shooter developed by Mesa Logic and released by Atari for arcades (running Jaguar-based hardware) in 1997.

    The spiritual successor to the studio's earlier game Area 51, Maximum Force uses the same gameplay engine (with heavy use of pre-rendered 3D video) while shifting the story to counter-terrorism. Unlike Area 51, enemy sprites are now digitized actors.

    It was later ported by Perfect (PC version) and Tantalus (console versions) and released by Midway and GT Interactive for the PC in 1997, the Sony PlayStation on September 30, 1997, and the Sega Saturn on October 13, 1997. The European version was released on the PS1 on November 1997 and on the Saturn on March 1998.

    The game was later bundled with Area 51 (along with new hidden content) in the same arcade board in 1998 as Area 51 / Maximum Force DUO.
