![]() The player controls Major Havoc, the leader of this very band of clones. ![]() The small band of scientists who initially escaped managed to clone the great human hero Major Havoc, in order to fly his Catastrofighter through a wormhole in space, so that he may lead a clone army against the dreaded Vaxxian robots, and to liberate the remnants of humanity by destroying the enemy reactors. However, numerous Vaxxian space stations, all blindly controlled and defended by robots, still remain in the galaxy, mindlessly pursuing their original orders. A few humans, who were scientists, managed to escape.Īt the current moment (according to the timeline of the game), the Empire has since collapsed. Most of humanity was enslaved and abducted to the Vaxxian homeworld. ![]() Plot Īccording to the story provided by the game's original cabinet, long ago the evil Vaxxian Empire overran the galaxy. Dedicated versions of the game used a roller control for left-right movement, while conversion kits used their native controller hardware, such as the Tempest rotary spinner knob. The game was released as a dedicated cabinet in 1983 and then one year later as a conversion kit for older vector arcade games like Tempest. It was developed by Owen Rubin with some levels designed and tuned by Mark Cerny, who joined the development team approximately a year into the game's development. A vector-based upright arcade cabinet, Major Havoc consists of several smaller game experiences played in succession, including a fixed shooter, platform game, and a lunar lander sequence. Okay, have a nice day.Major Havoc (or The Adventures of Major Havoc) is an arcade action game released by Atari, Inc. Maybe 1 of you already thought about it before. Would make a great 7800 game if anyone ever decided to do so. I know that the controls wouldnt be the same for the 7800 do to the arcade spinner control to control running speed, but the Atari Museum disc for the playstaion 2 emulated the controls just fine with a regular pad or stick control option with button.So the 7800 controls would be similar i guess if ever ported. Maybe the Vectex had a port of it but i dont know. I liked the game in the arcade when i was a kid.Ive never seen the game ported to any home game console and i wonder why. Sorry to bug you guys, but this is a game that i had forgot about and it just kind of popped back into my head. Maybe like Frenzy on steroids, Lol.at least the way the guy runs around the maze.Maybe its a bad comparrison. Shoot alien ships, then run through maze, find item, run out before timer runs out, then blast off, shoot more aliens and same thing over and over with slight changes per level.IT REMINDS ME OF BEZERK ONLY it has much more variety in gameplay. If i were guessing, i would think a port of this game could be possible gameplay wise because the game has a pretty simple concept. Just wondering because this was an Atari brand arcade game that was kind of impressive and fun for being an early 1980s game. Or is the games vector graphics and 3d effect too complex for the 7800? I was just wondering if Major Havoc was possible for the Atari 7800? I understand how some of you feel about that sort of thing, LoL. First of all, this is by no means a peddlers post.
