Maximum Gauge was an 2D/3D adventure game with a sci-fi theme in development for the Playstation 1 and the PC, developed by Big Grub and published by MGM Interactive. Gregg Tavares, who was Programmer at the time, described the game as “take Diablo but make it play like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past“. Atari Compendium made an interview of Tavares back in 2007, and Maximum Gauge was briefly mentionned:
Q: There were a few projects that you worked on that ultimately never got released (or possibly finished). Do you recall the reason(s) why?
Gregg Tavares: (…) Big Grub’s unreleased game was called Maximum Gauge. It was basically SNES Zelda-type of adventure with Diablo or better graphics. The main characters were Space Marines. (…)
Q: If you had a chance to redo any of your games, what would you change?
Gregg Tavares: That’s a hard question. If I was to redo Maximum Gauge I’d redesign it around the dialog since because it’s an adventure game. That’s really where those games get their base. Originally I designed it around the levels and thought I’d fill in dialog later. But more than design I would manage it differently and hopefully in a way that it would have shipped.
Apparently there were direction problems and the game never seen the light of the day.
