Game Over (originally titled Maximum Surge Movie) was made by combining 65 minutes of original footage with 25 minutes of footage originally filmed for full motion video sequences in five different Digital Pictures games: Maximum Surge (unreleased), Corpse Killer, Prize Fighter, Supreme Warrior, and Quarterback Attack with Mike Ditka. The storyline ties all these games together as being part of a game that the main character, Steve Hunter (played by Jeffreys), has to play in order to save the world. The villain of Maximum Surge, Drexel, is adapted to the film as a computer system created by the protagonist, with the in-game character Drexel being its avatar in virtual reality, and the dialogue of Walter Koenig portraying said avatar is dubbed over with a voice actor who also voices Drexel in the real world. The real stars of the movie (Woody Jeffreys and Dominika Wolski) are given second billing in favor of the famous personalities who only appear in the game sequences (Koenig, Bleeth, Schiavelli). Since the game footage was taken several years before the movie was filmed, the footage quality is poorer than the rest of the film. ==References==
