Episode Description

In this episode of Tangent Retro Gaming Podcast, Toby dives into one of the strangest early NES shooters ever made — MAGMAX.

Originally an arcade game from 1985, MAGMAX featured a unique mechanic where players collected robot parts to transform their ship into a giant mech. It was weird, experimental, and very much a product of the early Nintendo era.

Was MAGMAX a hidden gem… or a forgotten oddball?

Let’s find out.
