Deteacher Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 After a couple of warm up games, I'll kick things off with the first submission: 7,900! Made it to the white robots that shoot 1 super fast shot. Wasted no time in taking me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Best I've got: 3780 I got 7k once on the 5200 cart before I scrapped it. If I'd ran into this one in arcades, I'd have probably ventilated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Amiga500 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Is the PAL version slower than NTSC? I don't want to lose because the PAL players (wankers) are fighting robots that are moving slower than three-toed sloths stuck in molasses. Chicken. Fight like a... NTSC robot! By the way, there's a bug in the game. If Otto is chasing you and you move into the left doorway - without exiting - he will think you're on the other side and go bouncing to the right. I once spent 10 minutes just psyching out Otto. (the bastard deserved it) Edited March 20, 2011 by Mr.Amiga500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Amiga500 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 My first attempt: 9040 I killed myself twice by carelessly walking into walls while going around corners. (Chicken. Walk like a.. robot.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Amiga500 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I thought "wanker" was just a casual insult. OK, you poxy git. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a8isa1 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Is the XEX harder than the cartridge? My DIY SRAM cart is broken (again) so the XEX is what I am stuck with. 6,590 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Amiga500 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Is the XEX harder than the cartridge? I don't think so. I've got both the cartridge and XEX on SDrive. The both seem the same to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a8isa1 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 There was a discussion regarding broken sounds in the XEX. Did this get resolved? I don't hear sounds for the robot's lasers and Evil Otto's bounce is chopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) 17,670! Once you figure out how the robots move, you really don't have to shoot too much. You can make them run into/shoot each other, clearing the way for you to pick off the last few robots and exit the room. Also, you get an extra life at 5K and 10K, but that seems to be it. I didn't get one at 15K. Edited March 20, 2011 by Deteacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 20460 Got 4150 on the Ke-Soft version. Can't figure out how to fire in the Ulf version (and you die when you don't touch anything either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a8isa1 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I found my problem with sound. I grabbed the XEX from Fandal's site but copied the wrong XEX to my SD card. The sound now works as expected but occasionally I get this display corruption. Evil Otto has partially spawned and is white in color. Once I get this corruption it returns every time Evil Otto appears. @Mr.Amiga500 With your XEX the Evil Otto bounce sounds were OK but laser blasts were just momentary scratch sounds. -Steve Sheppard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Can't figure out how to fire in the Ulf version (and you die when you don't touch anything either) You can only fire left and right in that version. Hold down your fire button and move right or left and he'll fire off a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's more like it Off to dig out the 800 from the cupboard (that's closet to you)... darn it, I'd just got the XL nicely under the main TV in the front room and the XE on a desk in the dining room... shame I don't have a third 1050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+orpheuswaking Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Ugh, the Ulf Peterson one is insanely hard. Even moving left right they shoot much faster than you do. and sometimes you don't even see them shoot at you until you are dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back tracking slightly (after playing these bonus games I've downgraded the scoring for them) and added Krazy Shoot Out as the main side-show for Berzerk to keep us busy, this looks like an excellent clone (see post 1 for details and scoring folks). If there are any others out there post and we'll have a bash at them too. The A8 Berzerk (atari) is listed as a prototype so I guess that explains its flaws especially on the movement, still very playable though - remember not to press fire to start your go or you have to cycle through the levels to get back to level 1! Berzerk 8,630 Berzerk UP 150 Berzerk KE 4,120 Krazy Shootout 3,140 Goon Class 3 (there you go Mr.A it's official!)
