Last year someone finally (after 22 years!) made a patch to disable the broken adaptive scaling algorithm from Max Payne's starting difficulty setting. Playing the game with it is like playing it for the first time. Final levels are no longer an exercise in patience and savescumming. I recommend it highly.
