MAJOR HAVOC BOARDSET ARCHIVE
Screenshot of Jess Askey’s Game Archive Website Now who’s interested? 🙂 More importantly…. Lots of other fun stuff (more warps, more enemies, speech, star castle?).Then if Owen is interested, we could write the ending to the game that he always wanted, release the new version which would have… What is the level of interest for this? I always though it would be cool to release the level editor and have a contest for 8 new levels. The problem is that since maze parameters vary greatly in size between each definition, the data isn’t super clean in blocks of data (ie… each maze has 32 bytes for wall definitions, 32 bytes for sparkoid and perkoid data, etc) so it gets …. I have been ‘building’ a Major Havoc level editor for a long time and it pretty much works at this point but I’m not complete with the final step of dumping the edits to ROM’s so people can play them. Soon after, Jess Askey signed up and after moving through a couple other threads, posted an inquiry into the level of interest to ‘finally’, as Jess says, release the Major Havoc level editor. Late last month on Owen Rubin signed up and started participating in the groups for games which he created including Major Havoc. Jess released his Major Havoc modifications under the title Major Havoc: Return to Vax a few years back and is now looking to enlist the average MH enthusiast to contribute to another version of the gameplay. The most recent generation of guys know Jeff Kulczycki for his Donkey Kong 2 levels, but as best I understand it, Jess’s level additions to Major Havoc are similar but took place in a time where the hobby was relegated to more simple communication systems. (Don’t believe me, check out his volume of Major Havoc posts at Vectorlist) Jess Askey has spent the better part of ten years taking the original code for Major Havoc, modifying the original gameplay and adding his own levels.
For huge Major Havoc buffs, everyone knows Own Rubin the creator and a lot of guys who got into collecting the game over the past 10 years got to know Jess Askey.
