MAX2 Tour in MAX2 Heaven

"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

Now, through the magic of internet technologies, we are able to provide you with a musical (with a BEAT all's there!) bus tour of the MAX2 strategy game.

You are late! Bus's A, B, C and D have left already ... jump on board Bus E.

OK ... all aboard. The Magical MAX2E Tour is underway ... enjoy the midi music in the background as you see the sites (I couldn't resist the pun)! The tour is just forming now ... come back again in a few days to see the expanded version! (Fellow webmasters, please send me URL links that can be included in this tour! Tourists ... please remember this is a work in progress!)

After you veer off to see the various sites, remember to use your browsers BACK button to come back to the tour to continue where you left off!
