"How in the hell could Interplay release a game with such major, glaring, near-fatal flaws? Didn't anybody know? Didn't anybody care?" - PC Gamer Nov 98

"Running a close second in the shovelware market is Interplay, which also takes second place (after Sierra) as The Company Who Hates Its Customers The Most" - PC Gamer Feb 99

To make all Campaigns and Missions playable (and the five extra maps available) you can change two numbers in your MAX2.INI file. The first section in the file is titled [SETUP]. Change the number in the following two lines to be 49 (means campaign 4 mission 9):

current_campaign_1_mission=49
current_campaign_mission=49

Do not change the text in front of the = though! Only change the number at the end of these two lines! It should not be necessary, but you may need to change the skipped numbers to be 0 as well, as noted below:

last_campaign_1_skipped=0
last_campaign_2_skipped=0
last_campaign_3_skipped=0
last_campaign_4_skipped=0

With these changes you should be able to play any mission at any time in any order and the five extra maps should be available to you as well. Thanks io HISS!
