Max Magic

About

Max Magic casts players as an apprentice magician learning 14 customizable tricks from a mentor named Max. You can watch him perform routines or take control during shows using the CD-i remote to secretly manipulate effects. Mind reading, zodiac readings, and other illusions let you direct the action behind the scenes. Each trick can be tailored with different dialogue and responses. The setup lets you choose how Max addresses you adding a personal touch to routines. The game’s standout feature is its use of the CD-i’s remote as a hidden control interface letting players guide performances without on-screen indicators. Community votes label the tone as unexpectedly dark though only one person has weighed in. With its 1994 release it’s a relic of early interactive education blending simple mechanics with a peculiar charm. The Philips CD-i platform adds another layer of nostalgia for collectors tracking quirky early ’90s tech experiments.
