***** by jeepbastard. Comment: "This game was like vectrec on steroids. The cool named game used vector graphics. You had to land on these space stations and run thru the zero gravity enviornments dodging and shooting stuff. Major Havor would do humorous things if left to his own devices. The spartan graphics hide this games charms of a textured space adventure." 2002-06-19 18:50:26Z

***** by norwellbob. Comment: "The details on this game are wrong... yes, it was a Tempest conversion, but also a Space Duel, Gravitar, conversion and a gorgeous dedicated version. That being said, I have the Tempest conversion. Best XY game ever." 2004-08-30 12:30:28Z

***** by master_splinter. Comment: "This is the first mention of Mjr.Havoc that I have seen since it disappeared from the arcade scene.In my opinion, no other game was as much fun to play or offered so many 'subgames' in one.YES I remember the little breakout game between levels! Those of us way into it figured out the engineers' letter codes to skip levels and get millions of bonus points.(Remember the three letters above the breakout screen that changed when you moved the paddle?)God, I loved that game! -da SPLINT" 2004-11-05 02:26:32Z
