Game have strange playability because of odd jumping.

I love playing Mighty Max on the SNES, I wish it had been released for the Amiga back in the day... or right now! It's a fun, level-exploring kind of platformer, and the controls are okay when you get used to them.

I was waiting for this.. Too bad it never got released !!

There's another game preview in the German ASM issue 10-94, same page as the Mighty Max preview. A game called "Akrobats" from Catfish. Anybody heard of it?

Had Reply from Wayne looks like another one lost in time.

Hi

Going back a bit here! I remember Mighty Max, we were asked to do it by Ocean but were pretty restricted on what we could do, I remember the game wasn't great (we were pretty rushed to get it done).

The Amiga version was never released, and it was by far the best version as I recall. Unfortunately nothing remains of it, I was always a bit slack at archiving my work I'm afraid.

It amazes me how someone might not be all that fussed if they lost an entire work like this. If it was the best version then surely you'd at least want to have that safe somewhere regardless if it was released or not. Yeah it was really good but oh well. Fair enough

turrican3 · 17 September 2013, 13:06

is there someone who tried to contact Paul Hoggart ???
He is one of the coders of the game perhaps he could have keep a copy ???
If someone know how to contact him or could try to contact him, please give a try.

turrican3 · 17 September 2013, 13:18

here you can find the list of every developers of mighty max http://eager.back2roots.org/DATA/M/MIGMX.html
we should try to find them and ask if they didn't keep a copy !
edited: if someone has a photo of one of these coders it could help.

turrican3 · 18 September 2013, 01:22

everybody lost interest for mighty max ?
we should work together to have this game !
it was finished.

Joe Maroni · 28 September 2013, 10:43

i can start to search him and get in contact to get more informations.
what makes you sure that the game was finished ???

turrican3 · 28 September 2013, 10:58

I read an interview where one of the coder said it was finished and was the best version again genesis and snes....
Somebody should remember where to find this one.
But, they finished it, it's sure !

Retro-Nerd · 28 September 2013, 15:31

You mean this interview (page 30+31)? Sounds like a completed or nearly completed version. But look at post#8. Probably lost forever.

sad news from Wayne Smithson:

as already read in the interview the game was finished and he had still the sources of the game. but he moved many times the last years and unfortunately lost the disks....

turrican3 · 30 September 2013, 21:58

Joe Maroni · 02 October 2013, 20:55
