I could only find a little thumbnail of this box art after searching the net, so I thought I'd take a picture and share a little info on the game.

(AUS, possibly E) Box

- For some reason the (E) versions have the first level removed. Perhaps it was too much like Green Hill Zone, this level plays faster then any other in the game.
- My version is the Codemasters one, the level title screen has DataEast removed.
- The box has the name 'Havoc', yet the game boots with the logo "Captn' Havoc' . The US version is called High Seas Havoc... (What is with all the name changes?)

- I can only assume that with this being the Codemasters ones, that the DataEast ones do not come with the strange Codemasters cart shape?

Anyways, enjoy this lesser-known game.

The US and Japanese versions have their respective regular shapes, yes.

Also, the Japanese version is called Captain Lang.

Regarding this box, I've seen it being sold from German and UK sellers, but I never saw it in Spanish shops, so it wasn't an all-Europe release. Neither version seems to be too rare, in any case.

strictly speaking this is a UK version with stickers for the Australian market, but whatever

It was published by Codemasters in Europe, who weren't fans of pan-Euro covers. Some countries got the above cover, others got this one, with all the appropriate translations

That is way too badass a cover for this game, fun though it is.

Let me scan a better version, give me a sec.

For anyone who hasn't seen the original, the Havoc font on the front and spine are done in a metallic foil. Scanning the cart and manual now...

You forgot something important.
The fade outs are a different color depending on the region.

I literally just saw a video with a image of this game, and didn't know what it was. I just posted on said video and I just saw this thread right after. This game looks really fun, I'm going to download it and play in on actual hardware tomorrow after work. :3

This was a really cool game. Played the U version ages ago. Glad to see people remember it.
