Mad Max on NES is one of those weird, janky licensed games from the '80s that somehow still has its charm. You control Max in this side-scrolling action mess—driving, shooting, and occasionally just running around trying to figure out what you're supposed to do next. The controls take a second to get used to (Z for jump? Really?), but once you get the hang of it, it’s oddly satisfying in that old-school, punishing way.

Expect lots of desert wasteland vibes, clunky combat, and enemies that just keep coming at you. It’s not exactly a hidden gem, but if you’re into retro games with rough edges, it’s a fun little time capsule. Just don’t expect anything close to the movies.
