Last month marked twenty years since Max Payne launched! Somehow two decades has taken place since Max first burst onto our screens but the passion and enthusiasm for the title are still there and going strong! Kickstarting the event was Remedy with a video that brought together both the voice and face of the original adventure. But the community didn't forget the date either, and packed the twenty-four hours with brand new retrospectives and goodness!
Below is just some of the amazing tweets, projects, and artwork that celebrated the occasion.
Happy 20th birthday, Max Payne, from @SamLakeRMD (Max Payne), James McCaffrey (Max Payne), and a familiar leather jacket. 🧥🎂

When I interviewed @Peppepappa in 2016 he said he'd take the opportunity to one day score the iconic Max Payne theme. That idea never slipped my mind. I'm grateful we got to do this for #MaxPayne20. Please enjoy the Max Payne theme by Petri Alanko!https://t.co/2s85VCHGKn

The early dream sequences with the crying baby, followed by the end result, will haunt me forever, and Max Payne 3 was the perfect closure to an epic story.

A little late! Oh well, just a bit of fan art, with more on the way. Going to see some familiar faces soon! Speaking of which, I highly doubt @SamLakeRMD had any idea his handsome, smirking mug would one day become a gaming icon. Cheers, Sam, and @remedygames.#MaxPayne20 pic.twitter.com/ODcwmeFNxd

I am a writer because of this game. I met my friends, my husband, my colleagues because of it.
No game before or since has touched my life so profoundly. I doubt another could.
Happy birthday, Max. ❤️#MaxPayne20 @remedygames @3DRealms pic.twitter.com/0bWXsTboGb

I remember seeing the 1998 trailer as a 14yo John Woo fan and thinking it was the slickest, sickest thing ever. And the game was being made in Finland! It was unbelievable.
I didn't know it then - but my life changed that day.
HBD Max! 🎉 pic.twitter.com/vRPY17P4Jy
