Major Havoc (or The Adventures of Major Havoc) is an upright and cocktail cabinet vector-based arcade game made by Atari in 1983.[1]

The game was initially released as a dedicated cabinet in 1983 and then one year later as a conversion kit for older vector arcade games like Tempest.[2]

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.[3]
