Maximum Surge is an unreleased full motion video game by Digital Pictures, set for release on the 3DO, Mac, PC and Sega Saturn in the first quarter of 1996.
Maximum Surge would have been an on-the-rails shoot-'em-up in which you fight an enemy known as Drexel, who is attempting to replace humanity with cyborgs. Though a demo of the PC version was released and all the footage was shot, no other versions made it to market. The Sega Saturn version was even rated by the ESRB as M.
Two months prior to its original expected release date, results from focus group testing caused Maximum Surge to be delayed by six months[4]. However, before this new release date could be met, Digital Pictures closed, and the project scrapped. Much of the footage was reycled to create a movie, Game Over, released in 2003.
