Well, just as C&VG was closing for press this month, guess who should turn up? None other than the long-awaited Max Headroom game from Quicksilva. Glad you could make it, Max.

This is a quick preview of the game. Time and printers will not wait for reviews.

The story revolves around investigative reporter Edison Carter's attempts to rescue Max Headroom where he is imprisoned on the top floor of Network TV 210 storey building.

The only way to reach the Max personality generator is by lift. But to get anywhere Edison has to crack various access codes.

Carter is also helped by the Maxhunter program which has been "injected" into the buildings computer. This gives him various information and, by means of icon-style controls around the A screen, allows him to call lifts, gain access to computer, and scan for guards. These guards will hunt you down when you move around the floor.

While not graphically brilliant, Max Headroom could turn out to be a challenging game. Stay tuned for more news.
