For all those who cannot run M.A.X in windows but has to use DOSBox: This game actually requires a monitor that can be set to 640x resolution, i found that setting my old CRT to that made it work instantly, too bad new LCD monitors are limited to 800x600 minimum

Just saying, if people were having problems running it in DOSBox, try this, because i recall it working for me.

If i try to run it in windows now, the monitor flicks to black, then flicks back to windows with the game shut down :S That has always been the case for me when running it in windows with high-res desktop. My monitor cant display 640x and therefor it shuts down since it's the only resolution the game runs in?

That was my theory atleast.
