MagMax (マグマックス, Magumakkusu) is an arcade video game which was developed by Nihon Bussan and released in 1985 under its brand Nichibutsu.[4] A horizontal scrolling shooter, players control the title hover ship in an attempt to completely construct the ship into a giant robot and to destroy any enemies attempting to stop it.

The three-headed mechanical dragon found as a boss character in the game, known as Babylon, strongly resembles Mecha-King Ghidorah from the Godzilla franchise.
