About M.A.X. 2: Mechanized Assault & Exploration
Discover new scenarios, units and more with the sequel - M.A.X. 2
Your mission: colonize new worlds on distant planets. As the Mission Commander, you and the Mechanized Assault & Exploration (M.A.X.) force under your command are the first ones in. Mining stations, power plants, tactical combat vehicle factories, habitats – it's up to you to plan and construct them.
The entire new colony? You create it. The resources you find there? Control them. Enemies? Crush 'em! And there will be enemies. You're not the only Mission Commander trying to colonize the planets. You'll have to push yourself to the limit to survive the ultimate showdown in strategic warfare. It's espionage, heavy artillery, offensives, counter offensives and intelligence – all with maximum consequences.
At its core, M.A.X. is about resource-gathering, building, and tactical combat. The game offers more than 50 land, sea, and air units, most of which can be upgraded to improve their armor, speed, and range. You can play as one of eight different factions with different advantages for each one.

M.A.X. 2: Mechanized Assault & Exploration is a large-scale science-fiction strategy title developed and published by Interplay that represents one of the more ambitious hybrid strategy designs of the late 1990s. As a sequel to the original M.A.X., the game seeks to expand on its predecessor’s mix of economic simulation, military tactics, and flexible pacing, delivering a complex experience where planning, logistics, and battlefield control are inseparably linked. Even decades after its original release, it stands as a fascinating artifact of an era when strategy games were experimenting boldly with systems and scope rather than presentation. At its core, M.A.X. 2 is about planetary conquest through careful expansion and mechanized warfare. Players are tasked with establishing colonies, extracting and managing multiple resources, constructing production facilities, and deploying a wide array of combat and support units across land, sea, and air. The scale of options is immediately apparent, with dozens of unit types available, many of which can be customized or upgraded to improve speed, armor, weapon range, or utility.

This is the greatest game of all time. There is a room in heaven where you just play this game pwning people in hell that don't like it. Its also a time vault when everything crashes. Please re release the game with 4k1 found this helpful
Constant crashes. Miss the nostalgia of playing it as a kid, but this is unplayable in its current state.
I've always loved this game. The game crashes sometimes so you have to save often just to make sure you don't loose progress. Game play is pretty simple. The field of view from unit/turret doesn't show everything, so there might be a unit of more hiding there so you never have full control of everything. It's a simple game. The number of unit/building is only limited by how much power and resources you have. The research station let you upgrade whatever you like, attack/ defence /hitpoint/ speed /scan/ range armor/shield, if you have enough gold note for it, so choose whatever you like. It's an old game and pretty simple game play. Choose what race/faction you like for the right bonus fitting your play style, The hours showing isn't real. I started to play this game in 2001.
