A friend and I have recently gotten hooked on Major Havoc,
a video game at our local colored-phospor palace.  We would
like to learn all we can about the game, but repeated quarters
have yielded very little information.

We have learned about "warping" and have been given the first
few magic numbers (where did they come from?).  But we're
having LOTS of trouble with the mazes, specifically:
	o The maps are virtually useless; they don't identify
	   where the electrical barriers are.
	o Is there a way through the electrical barriers?  Do
	   they come and go?
	o Is there one-and-only-one way through most of these
	   mazes?  Repeated exploring in the early mazes has
	   just cost us men... most of the possibilites seem
	   blocked by electrical widgets.
	o How do you get over the spark-detonating red pads?

There seem to be a lot of goodies hidden in the game; we'd love
to know them!

Any help on any aspect of Major Havoc would be appreciated.  Thanks!
