Magmax- The Forgotten NES Game

from Tangent Gaming Podcast Hosted by Toby B

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. Support the show! Hosted on Soapbox.
