About

Released in Japan in 1995 it is the SNES remake of original Metal Max. The storyline and the gameplay basics remained unchanged. The remake features enhanced graphics and sound, background pictures for battles (they were black in the original), slightly different locations (more houses in towns, sometimes different layout of the towns and of the world map), and reduced difficulty levels.
