Mad Max is a post-apocalyptic action game developed by Canadian studio Gray Matter and published by Mindscape for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990.

The object is to survive in a post-apocalyptic setting by battling raiders and collecting valuable food, water, gasoline, and money in order to continue racing into the desert wasteland that lies beyond.

As the player drives through the non-linear stage (referred to as a Road War), they encounter enemy vehicles, roadblocks, and dynamite-hurling bunkers.

Enemy survivalists are also present inside the mine, and will protect the items found within, however Max is armed with a shotgun, which also has limited ammo.

If the player wishes to start here, they must enter the password for the last Road War, rather than the final arena battle.
