Although, "Martial Artist" is a loose term, since I wasn't so great at it.
Anyway, getting off-topic: Who guyz? We need some clarity in here.
Famously cocked up interview from Sam Tramiel, head of Atari in the mid-90s
http://strider.untergrund.net/toxicmag/toxic15/articles/tramiel.htm
Hilarious for many reasons- like claiming Atari would continue to be a major console force, that the Jaguar was more powerful than all PCs and consoles except the upcoming Playstation which was a 'little bit stronger' (but would be trumped by Jaguar 2), and that $500 was the fair price for the Playstation to go for and selling it at under that would be illegal price dumping that Atari would take Sony to court for.
But he was also asked about the lack of an Atari mascot, and had this to say:
...the icon game, right. Our competitor, 3DO, does not have an icon game. Sony does not have an icon game. But we do think it is a nice thing to have an icon game. We're going to work on two or three different ideas at one time to see which one really takes hold. There's an old coin-op from the old Atari games called Major Havoc. It was a Tempest game from a technology point of view, with vector graphics. The game featured Major Havoc who goes out and saves a space station. He's a very cool character. We're going to modernize him and make him into an Atari character, bring him back from the '80s.
So there you go! How could you not know about the famous Major Havoc?
Worth reading in full though, as a part of gaming history.
