Dr. Max 1.0 is a 1997 shareware puzzle game by Steve Chamberlin -- author of the award-winning Tetris Max -- distributed under his Opinicus Microtech label. Openly inspired by the arcade classic Doctor Mario, it asks $15 to register and trades on Chamberlin's reputation for highly polished arcade-feel Mac ports.
Gameplay
Dr. Max is fighting a runaway viral experiment in his lab. The player guides falling two-color vitamin capsules into the playfield, attempting to trap each pesky virus inside a line of four matching colors. Match correctly and the virus is destroyed; misplace a capsule and the infection gets the upper hand.
Polish
The release notes promise great music, a tight arcade feel, and the clean presentation Chamberlin's Tetris Max audience came to expect -- a deliberate cut above the average mid-90s Mario clone.
