Maximum The Videogame Magazine

PRESENTS

The complete set of Maximum magazines can now be downloaded from our download section here.

Simply unpack the rar files and use CDisplay to view the cbr files.

CDisplay can be downloaded from the original site right here, or from a backup copy here.

Details about how to configure CDisplay to get the most out of our scans can be found here.

A bit of a bittersweet moment for me, as I'm glad to have finally finished the complete set of MAXIMUM magazines, but at the same time I wish there were more left for me to scan.

Sadly due to financial circumstances the magazine only lasted 7 issues.

It came at a time where the industry started to change with the entrance of the newcomer Sony.

Sadly, the true hardcore gaming environment wasn't "cool" enough for the average Joe who had just discovered this hobby.

So instead of being the runaway hit that this magazine certainly deserved to be, it was closed down before it's time.

The silver lining here is that Richard Leadbetter, editor of Maximum magazine moved on to take over the Official Sega Saturn Magazine after Maximum was terminated. (Starting with issue 12 of SSM)

A move that without a shadow of a doubt made Sega Saturn Magazine the legendary retromag it is today.

Thanks for the scans meppi, without your hard work l would not have even realised such a great magazine ever existed, let alone get the opportunity to read all the issues.

Also thanks for the link to the download section, that part of the forum seems to have completely escaped my attention, now all l need is to find a magazine to scan.

Awesome! I'm going to have to check those out now. I've not once seen this magazine so I guess now is the best time for me to do so
