You are MAJOR HAVOC, leader of a brave band of clones. All from one, one from all, fighting for humanity ... Eons ago the evil Vaxxian Empire overran the galaxy. Most of your ancestors were enslaved and taken to the Vaxxian home world. Only a few scientists escaped. Today, the Empire has all but decayed. Yet, Vaxxian space stations, controlled and defended by robots, still patrol the galaxy. The small band of scientists cloned you, MAJOR HAVOC, to fly your Catastrofighter through a wormhole in space, to lead your clone army against the dreaded Vaxxian robots, and to free your people by destroying the enemy reactors.

This game was released as a dedicated machine and also as a conversion kit. A photo of the dedicated machine appears at the top of the page. Later Atari games like I, Robot, Return Of The Jedi and Firefox all borrowed from this unique design. The dedicated control panel uses a left/right roller basically an X-axis-only trackball for player movement.
The kit for Major Havoc was released for either the Gravitar/Black Widow/Space Duel-style cabinets see photo on the right or for Tempest. These conversions all use a rotary spinner to control the player character.
