Maximum Overdrive is a top-down track racing game with weapons, similar to Death Rally. It allows to race against AI opponents, or between up to four human players in split-screen mode on the same computer. The development was apparently never completed, which is a shame because the game has very nice looking animations and visual effects, and plays very smoothly. In the latest available version, there is only one track, although a track editor is also included. Cars are assigned to players randomly, while random powerups appear on the track during the race.

To play this game in DOSBox, you'll need the modified CWSDPMI.EXE (already included in mxov-box.zip).
