[from Mobygames] "In the mid to late 1980s, Epyx went on a spree of taking games that were successful for other European home personal computers and republishing them in the USA, porting some of them to other platforms in the process. Most of these games had similar and/or related gameplay, relying on a mixture of exploration, problem-solving, and action. They marketed these games under the Maxx Out! Series moniker."
