Blue Max 2001 is a diagonally scrolling shooter written by Bob Polin (also credited as Rob Polin) for Atari 8-bit computers and published by Synapse Software in 1984. A Commodore 64 version was released the same year. Blue Max 2001 is the sequel to 1983's Blue Max, also by Polin, with the player piloting a futuristic hovercraft instead of a World War I biplane.[4] Critics found the game disappointing compared with the original, citing the indistinct graphics and confusing documentation.
