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. The reason for the game's cancellation is not known, however by 1996 FMV games were on the decline, and may have been considered unprofitable.

Much of the footage in Maximum Surge was reycled to create a movie, Game Over, released in 2003.
