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.

Logo (1987-1988)

Visuals: On a blue background with a sunburst below, there is a filmstrip with clips from Action Max games playing inside each part of the strip. "ACTION MAX", in a futuristic font, zooms out, then flips up. A white laser shoots the "O" in the logo, making it flash, and then the logo zooms in through the "O".

Technique: CGI with live-action clips.

Audio: An 1980s synth-guitar pop tune, with a soft "DING!" when the laser hits the "O".

Availability: Seen when the Action Max is turned on.
