As peedenmark7 said, patience is key.  Let the walls, Otto, and the robots themselves do as much of the work as possible.  And when you do shoot, try to do it from as safe as a position as possible.  Be aware that around 7,500-8,000, the enemy shots get much faster, and your window for exposing yourself to enemy fire shrinks to nearly nothing.

I was never good at Berzerk to begin with but getting better...

Hey for anyone who likes Berzerk, you should check out Frenzy and Frantic on the ColecoVision.  They are very worth sequels.
