thanks for looking and sorry to all of you who have been looking for this game and i just happen to stumble on it...

Did i mention i found it FREE on craigslist today..:D
 
Major Havoc is one of my favorite games, so you could say I am in Major Envy of you (Yeah, bad pun). Tempest conversion or not, a working Major Havoc in very clean condition like that is incredibly awesome! How does the game play with the spinner? I've only played the dedicated cab before.

Honestly i have nothing to compare it to.. but so far its playing great. wicked hard game tho.
And thanks..:)
 
Hey thats a hell of a score! If it were mine I would convert it back to a Tempest and offer the Major Havoc parts for sale here on the forums
 
well since you aren't a huge fan of hte game. tell you what I am gonna do.lol
I will trade you guts.
my perfectly working tempest guts for your major havoc guts. boards, etc.

just throwing it out there.

i thought about that, and someone else mentioned that to me also, but im going to keep it. i can always find another tempest :D
 
Yeah, Bri! Keep it a Major Havoc. Heck, if a Tempest conversion is good enough for Funspot it's good enough for you! Wicked score. Great work!!
 
Wow...you're on a great run lately man! Free MH is one of the best scores I've ever heard of. Just the board went for $343 just a few weeks ago. Congrats!
 
You hauled it away for free ? I would have made them pay me for my time and gas !
Seriously, that is so cool. Wanna trade for some Vectrex 3D Imager glasses ;)

tempting offer but think ill keep my MH :D
 
Nice score, Brian. Free is the best price! I'm not a fan of the game, but the novelty of it is cool. Have fun with it.
 
Awesome, I love Major Havoc. One game i'll probably never own. I played it a ton back in the day. I have only played the conversion with the spinner though, never even saw an original.
 
Owen Rubin: There is a major issue with conversion that you need to know. The vector generator on MH was faster than on the other, older vector games that you convert. That leads to some serious flickering when played on a conversion, especially in later waves when many vectors are drawn. So a conversion plays slower than on the original. It is not a large change, but it is there, and I for one, did not like the way it played.

Does that relate to the monitor? Amplifone vs. 6100?

How about a near mint dedicated MH for $300?
