(OT) Games That Have Dissapointed You

M.A.X.1 was a an awesome game for the first 100 turns or so. After that it, it was worse than MAX2 because it would frequently crash. MAX2 was released unfinished. IMHO, that is the same story with MOO3. I think they made some design decisions that resulted in a game that was even more unplayable than the current game. But they knew that if they released at least something that they could make some money off the name.

Even with the mid-to-late-game bugs and crashes in MAX1, I still load it up at least once a year and play around with it. There is and probably never will be a game that compares to it in terms of building a base with radar, anti-air defense, turrets, etc.

MAX 1 crashed? I never had that problem, and I remember playing games of up to 500 turns, multiplayer was very unstable though.. did you use the patch? I also really liked the system used in the game to improve/upgrade your units, very simple in design, but choosing the right tech upgrades could be crucial.

As for Max2: It crashed so often that I never completed a single game or reached the hundreth turn. They gave up patching it after 1 or 2 patches that didn't solve the problem.

I'm still hoping for a MAX3.. it will never happen though.
