Platform: NES Year: 1992 Developer: American Video Entertainment

Maxi 15 (also known as the Maxivision 15) is an unlicensed game released by American Video Entertainment. As the name suggests, it contains 15 games, most of which had already been released separately and were unlicensed.

The games are as follows:

• F-15 City War (NES)
• Puzzle (NES)
• Pyramid (NES)
• Tiles of Fate (NES)
• Krazy Kreatures (NES)
• Double Strike (NES)
• Dudes With Attitude (NES)
• Venice Beach Volleyball (NES)
• Stakk'm (NES)
• Deathbots (NES)
• Rad Racket: Tennis Deluxe II (NES)
• Chiller (NES)
• Solitaire (NES)
• Menace Beach (NES)
• Shockwave (NES)

The game was later re-released with a slightly different selection of games; Pyramid was replaced with Blackjack (NES), and Double Strike was replaced with Death Race (NES). This was because AVE did not have the rights to games by Sachen/Joy Van.

The game was heavily promoted, even featuring an hour-long spot featuring WWF superstar Hulk Hogan.

Music

Though the game consists of other games, it does have its own title theme. However, it is directly lifted from Blackjack. However, it has been slightly altered; the square wave was changed from 25% to 50%, and a drum track was added.

Ripping NES music is an arduous process that is beyond the scope of this site. The music was recorded in NSFPlay Synthesia Mod.
