Background
The Action Max was a video game console made in 1987 by Worlds of Wonder. It used VHS tapes as the game medium (one of a few consoles during the era to do so, others including the View-Master Interactive Vision and Takara's Video Challenger, the latter of which was introduced in the same year as the Action Max) and featured only light-gun games. Only 5 titles for the Action Max were released in the NTSC format. The system was a sales flop and the units are now considered rare.
