A Message From the Creator: 

"Being a kid who grew up in the late 70s and into the 80s, I cut my teeth on shows like Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, He-Man, the Lone Ranger, Star Wars, and the Original Star Trek.

 MAX ADVENTURE is the combination of great family entertainment with educational properties for the young and teen crowd. Everything that I loved as a kid is what makes MAX what it is. With more and more kids being turned to violent video games, MAX ADVENTURE is the right mix of adventure, fun, and education.

How cool is it to watch something that's fun and entertaining that has a moral twist to it? Kids won't even know they're being educated!"

When an overly glorified delivery man (Max) is thrust through a black hole, his ship crash lands on the strange planet of Nemisia. He quickly finds himself caught in a war between the Nemisian Army and the Goranian Resistance, and the subject of interest by both!
