The name of the weapon is Mag Max and only it might be able to defeat the alien invaders.
Mag Max however is incomplete and for security reasons, his component parts are scattered across the land.
Through their collection, Mag Max's strength increases.
Mag Max is a side-scrolling shooter game.
At the beginning, Mag Max is only a tiny little fighter craft that can fire low-powered projectiles.
As component pieces (such as a head, legs and a laser lance) are found, Mag Max's offensive power increases.
The underworld can be accessed through small dark craters on the landscape.
Once in the underworld, Mag Max's weapons vary slightly as do the enemies (there are no stationary objects underground).
Enemy fire or contact on each of the components will destroy that component.
Fire on the main fighter will destroy Mag Max.
At the end of each level awaits a boss creature.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks MagMax for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding MagMax to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1986.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
MagMax has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
