walter_J64bit Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) After setting up the satandisk, I've dropped and dragged all my public domain games and share ware to my satandisk I'd seen this file "Berzerk" and what do know, it's the arcade port it's plays faster than "800/5200/2600" versions its seem to have all voices but I'm sure. Has anyone played this games? Edited June 19, 2014 by walter_J64bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Looks like it is listed as missing on Atarimania http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st-berzerk_8701.html Maybe you can send them the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Oh, I've just found the speed option for the game now plays at the speeds of the Atari "800/5200/2600" versions I'll be more than happy send out the file to Atarimania!

Lynxpro Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Does it work with dual joysticks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Does it work with dual joysticks? Why would Berzerk work with two joysticks? It's designed as a stop and shoot game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 He might be thinking about Robotron 2084. Yup. Briefly mixed it up with Robotron. But dual joysticks would be cooler! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yup. Briefly mixed it up with Robotron. But dual joysticks would be cooler! Not to be a pain in the ass, but no, no it wouldn't. Berzerk controls completely differently and is absolutely not a dual joystick type of game. You change the way Berzerk controls, you have a different game. Berzerk and Frenzy work great just the way they are and are classics because of how they are, just like Robotron: 2084 and the countless other dual stick games work great the way they are. It's all in what control scheme they were originally designed for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiliteZoner Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Do yourself a favor and look into playing Dave's other games. They're all very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DarkLord Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Is the the Dave Munsie version of Berzerk! with the great digitized voice? That is an awesome version if it is... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiliteZoner Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 You do need to get used to the controls. They're not as smooth as the 2600/5200 versions of the game but once you get the hang of it it's very enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android8675 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I always thought the 2600 version of berzerk was too responsive compared to the arcade version. I always felt the slugishness made the game feel more challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave's versions of Frogger is very good also. So is Ms.Pac, although I can only get Ms. Pac to run from floppy disk.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zap! Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I always thought the 2600 version of berzerk was too responsive compared to the arcade version. I always felt the slugishness made the game feel more challenging. At the time though, I loved the 2600 version, and was so grateful my mom bought it for me. Oh to be 11 again!
