Logo: On a blue background with a sunburst below, we see a filmstrip with clips from Action Max games playing inside each part of the strip. "Action Max", in a futuristic font, zooms out, then flips up. A white laser shoots the "O" in the logo, making it flash, and then the logo zooms in through the "O".

Technique: 1980s computer animation.

Music/Sounds: An 1980s synth-guitar pop tune, with a soft "DING!" when the laser hits the "O".

Availability: Seen when the Action Max is turned on.
