Maximum Force is a 1997 Light Gun Game developed by Atari and Midway Games, released immediately after their previous arcade shooter, Area 51, where it's considered a Spiritual Successor.Players assume the role of a Counter-Terrorist Agent sent to take on a terrorist organization, who had hijacked a cargo ship and infiltrated the city. After thwarting the terrorist's plot (by recapturing the ship and preventing the terrorists from escaping with its contents, and later foiling their attempted bank robbery) the player then infiltrates the terrorists' jungle hideout and uncovers their leader's secret mansion hideout.It's worth noting that the game is literally crammed with bonus stages and mini-games in various intervals, unlockable by shooting enough onscreen targets. From shooting galleries, to hunting sharks in underwater stages, popping balloons and hunting cockroaches... in-between battling enemy mooks.Not to be confused with the 1992 movie of the same name. | |

Stuff Blowing Up: Everything onscreen can be blown to bits by your bullets. There's the usual Exploding Barrels, weapon crates and stray ammunition caches, but then even shelves, furnitures and dustbins are Made of Explodium... | |

Parachute in a Tree | |
| Maximum Force (Video Game) / int_47741ade | comment |
Parachute in a Tree: Downplayed, the last stage begins with a cutscene where you paradrop into the terrorists' forest hideout, and gets stuck in a tree on the way down. But then you whip out a knife, cut yourself loose in a few seconds, and lands on your feet - cue gameplay and shootout. | |

Sinister Shades: All the mooks (save for those in welding masks) are always seen wearing shades in order to indicate they're the villains you'll be shooting at. Which crosses into Sunglasses at Night territory in several stages set after dusk. | |

The Pig-Pen | |
| Maximum Force (Video Game) / int_67f2c837 | comment |
The Pig-Pen: Your character seems to be an untidy bachelor living alone; one of the mini-games - "Cockroach Shooting" - is your kitchen whose table is filled with leftover, unfinished food, cockroaches coming out of grocery bags, empty cups, coke cans, Chinese food takeout boxes, and a timer scoring you for the number of roaches you can shoot within 30 seconds. | |

| Maximum Force (Video Game) / int_6e0898f9 | comment |
Silliness Switch: One of the optional mini-games have you entering a dungeon and trying to shoot every available bone on a skeleton within the given time limit. After that, the gameplay returns to normal, save for the next area's terrorist foes turning into armed skeletons! It's only momentary however, less than a minute later the game returns to normal flesh-and-blood enemies. | |

| Maximum Force (Video Game) / int_7abba202 | comment |
The Faceless / Featureless Protagonist: Subverted; for most of the game your character's face is unseen due to the game's first-person nature. But after completing the final level, you're then treated to a cutscene of your character blowing up the terrorists' jungle hideout, which reveals your player to be... just a random white guy. With a 'stache. | |

Dolled-Up Installment | |
| Maximum Force (Video Game) / int_89499ccf | comment |
Dolled-Up Installment: There are certain gaming magazines and promotional materials that claims the protagonist of Maximum is the same hero from Area 51, now transferred to a Counter-Terrorist Unit after thwarting an alien invasion, however unlikely it seems given the massive thematic difference between both games (from fighting aliens and zombified soldiers to generic, run-of-the-mill terrorists? Really?). | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Maximum Force (Video Game) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Some of the shooting mini-games hits this territory due to how silly and unexpectedly random they are. In the middle of shooting terrorists in a burning weapons factory, you unlock a mini-game… and find yourself shooting rubber duckies and fried chickens. And then goes back to killing terrorists thirty seconds later as if nothing else happened. | |

Sea Mine | |
| Maximum Force (Video Game) / int_c6a9c7bd | comment |
Sea Mine: Subverted in one underwater area. It's filled with mines, but they're actually harmless and can be shot for points, with the dangerous projectiles being torpedoes fired by terrorists on the surface. If you managed to shoot enough mines though, you can unlock one of the mini-games. | |

Shoot the Bullet | |
| Maximum Force (Video Game) / int_cfe72499 | comment |
Shoot the Bullet: Shooting projectile-based attacks, from missiles to torpedoes, is the only way to avoid getting hit. It gets really terrible during the mall shootout - the terrorists dropped a number of grenades in front of you, and instead of leaping aside over an adjacent railing (with a low drop which probably wouldn't hurt you), you're actually supposed to shoot every grenade within two seconds or lose a life when it explodes on you. | |

Bonus Stage: By completing certain set conditions (such as shooting enough barrels onscreen, break every single crate, clearing the underwater area of mines, or shooting out every button on an elevator's keypad) you can access a quick bonus stage without enemies, where you can shoot everything onscreen for extra points within 30 seconds before going back to regular gameplay. | |
