Does anyone have any information about this game?

It was a mech game planned for Atari Jaguar and there's only one screenshot I've ever seen of it (http://mechaware.mechnex.net) it looked cool...

Apparently it appeared briefly as an Atari coin op arcade machine right on the end of Ataris coin op success run, the main motherboard was a heavilly modified Co-Jag board with a 4Gigabyte hard disk drive and a Motorola 68030 processor plus over 4 Mb of RAM memory, this represented the pinnacle of true jag board development - after that it was handed over to Jamma boards, all this is documented on the internet
Hoping this helps in some small way

I think you're confusing this unreleased Jaguar game with the arcade game Maximum Force.

The Jaguar game Max Force was supposed to be some sort of licensing tie-in with Nerf Max Force toys (guns that fired soft Nerf projectiles). I don't remember much else about this game, though.

Maximum Force had nothing to do with Nerf Max Force, other than some similarity in the name and the CoJag chipset's relation to the Jaguar. Maximum Force was a light gun game from Atari Games that was similar to their earlier Area 51 game. A home version Maximum Force was produced for the PlayStation, and possibly the Saturn too.
