About

Dr. Max 1.0 is a 1997 shareware puzzle game by Steve Chamberlin -- author of the award-winning Tetris Max -- distributed under his Opinicus Microtech label. Openly inspired by the arcade classic Doctor Mario, it asks $15 to register and trades on Chamberlin's reputation for highly polished arcade-feel Mac ports.GameplayDr. Max is fighting a runaway viral experiment in his lab. The player guides falling two-color vitamin capsules into the playfield, attempting to trap each pesky virus inside a line of four matching colors. Match correctly and the virus is destroyed; misplace a capsule and the infection gets the upper hand.PolishThe release notes promise great music, a tight arcade feel, and the clean presentation Chamberlin's Tetris Max audience came to expect -- a deliberate cut above the average mid-90s Mario clone.Shareware TermsDistributed as fully playable shareware with a $15 registration fee; further information was hosted on the Opinicus Microtech page at users.aol.com/granola.CompatibilityShips as a fat 68k/PPC binary, around 1 MB on disk, and is confirmed working on Mac OS 9.2.2 by Macintosh Garden curators.
