Nebulon Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Any thoughts on Major Havoc's (1983) place in the history of scrolling platform games? Jump Bug (1981) is cited as the first horizontally and vertically scrolling platform game. However, Major Havoc seems to contain a large number of features that would show up in later platformers (switches that can be thrown, keys for doors, trap panels, in-air position adjustments, multiple ways to get to your destination, shields, etc,,,), Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
