The Adventures of Mighty Max is a side-scrolling action-adventure video game developed by British studio WJS Design and published by Ocean Software for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. The game is based on the Mighty Max television series.[1]

Gameplay

The player controls Mighty Max from the television series. The game has several environments that the player has to explore, including: a factory, Hell, a pyramid, a cave system, and a jungle. The player is given a ball launcher gun, which can be used to help traverse these environments. The player can also manipulate objects, most notably a metal crate which the player has to carry to complete each of the game's levels.

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the SNES version of the game, rating it one star out of five; the magazine was critical of the game's design and gameplay and considered the game "awful" and "not fun".[3]

Electronic Gaming Monthly's five-critic review crew gave the Genesis version of Mighty Max an average score of 4.8 out of 10, calling the game "incredibly slow" and 'unappealing'.[2]
