Max Headroom

slenkar · September 2014

Max Headroom seems really advanced, especially for it's time.

When I saw D-Generation

I thought it would be like max headroom just from the screenshots. (but this was before I had played max headroom :) )

Anyone have any experiences with this game?

My cousin had it, but I never really got much of a chance to play it.

It's on The List, though.

Best of all it has one of the best game endings

Currently watching the ABC television series. Might give the game a go when I'm done.

Played this game a lot back in the day. My memory of it is a bit hazy but seemed quite a deep absorbing game that you could really get into...and then summer would come along and bikes and football would take over and you'd forget how far you'd got with it come the next Autumn!

Really enjoyed playing it though :)

A couple or more of years ago I completed it and sent the RZX recording to the Tipshop.

However, I admit not understanding very much of it when I first came across it in 1986. By the way, at the time I was, and still I am, a huge fan of the series.

I vaguely remember something with Max Headroom on Channel 4 really late at night. Can't recall what it was about though.

20 Minutes in the Future? The TV movie. Awesome stuff!

Yep, great movie :)

The development of Max Headroom gets a mention in Retro Asylum's latest episode which is an exclusive interview with the Pickford Brothers who were at Binary Design when the game was being made.

I'm sure I got a loan of this back in the day and didn't know what to do.

Just watched the completion online for the game ending. Very nice! Unsure if I remember that being talked about or not.

the movie was brilliant. I've watched a few eps of the TV series and it's pretty good too.

the game of backwards simon says seems very difficult

I considered mapping this game a while ago, but gave up when I realized all floors were essentially identical (except for some randomized furniture) and frankly the gameplay wasn't interesting enough... So I only got this far:

Kind of looks like 'Shadowrun' on the SNES.

And there was 2 sleeves for some reason.

On second thought I decided to release the partial map I made:

This should be good enough, there's no need to map anything else.

But if anybody else would like to map the exact furniture variations for all 211 floors, be my guest...
