you can wait for the fireball to come through and kill you if you're not in a barrel. at least then you can keep playing if you have more lives that's one of the two complaints I have. getting stuck in a barrel ends your game! I think you should just lose a life. also I wish the round # was displayed while you're playing! I found some very helpful information about this game which tells you how to get lots of 1ups and bonus points and Magic Hammers, etc. It is not even nearly complete, but at least the information for how to figure it out is there! http://www.gamefaqs....crew/faqs/27963 also, the author of the above faq apparently doesn't know it, but the formula for getting the bonus items is much simpler than described: 1) find the bomb that has it 2) make sure that is the 3rd bomb detonated 3) if you care which item comes up, count how many times you have swung the hammer if the phase # plus total number of times you swung the hammer (including the swing that kills the 3rd bomb) = 9 or (9 + any multiple of eight) you will get a golden hammer. other than that any other sequences of breaking things, etc., don't factor in at all. the formula is: (Phase #) + (# of hammer swings) divided by 8. the remainder will be a number from 0-7 each # from 0-7 corresponds to a particular bonus item. you can find a chart for it, i saw it but i can't seem to locate it right now. but the 1 is the Golden Hammer which is all I care about because it empowers you and gives you the max bonus points. I have an improvement, but forgot the pic & the exact number so I'll post it soon just to warn y'all it is above 250K

wow, I'm impressed you got that time with a crash! i think some of us may get below 2:17 improvements: (pics are on the way) Skiing 46.73 Sky Jinks 2:17.11 Time Warp: (i forgot)

127100 I'll get back to ya's with a pic... Just got to phase 15 for the 1st time trying to figure out how to get more points I saw a "cat" rise out of the ground on the first screen, but I died before getting to it it looked like bonus points also I haven't been able to hammer the wrench-guys yet, the instruction manual seems to suggest that will pay bonus points

46-club!! Skiing 46.88 (pic pending) Sky Jinks 2:17.61 (no crashes, still room for improvement tho) Time Warp no improvement, what a rough game. where is Stan at a time like this?!!

oh cool, fun game! also I never played it for points before I don't think Wrecking Crew is very popular for some reason. No one seems to know it when I mention it. for a game with Mario & Luigi it would seem to stand a little taller. plus it is actually a fun game

Sky Jinks 2:17.88 Skiing 47.19 Time Warp 20767 I have pics for the other 2 also, I'll add them when I get them sent from roomie's phone unless of course I improve first... I'm very much enjoying Skiing and Sky Jinks !! especially skiing. again, more Activision games which I did not appreciate as a youngster... Time Warp emphasises the quality of Activision games @ Gorfy: have you tried wetting the connections with rubbing alcohol & then wiping them clean with a dry q-tip? usually doing this repeatedly does the trick for me. maybe you already know this stuff, but a tip I also got from a guy at Recycle Video Games in Coos Bay: somethimes the connecters in the Atari need cleaned, so douse the inside of cart with alcohol & then push it in & out of the Atari. clean cart & put it in a few more times & clean again. if stuff keeps coming off the cart, add alcohol & repeat again until you stop getting "dirt." it is a strange day for me to discover a cart that still doesn't work after all this treatment! hope it helps

oh no! Time Warp I don't have a cart back to dumb ol' emulation... Question: I don't understand the bonus rules! is that a typo? " 5-29 2 pts. 15-24 1pt. "

33110 that's probably my last ditch. I have started also having some good games without much spawn-deaths the thing that kills me the most is shooting in the wrong direction immediately after spawning, then I have to wait for that bullet to finish side note: I have been following the series called "Falling Skies" while spending hours on Berzerk. it is kind of ironic because they battle robot "Mechs" in the show. but I am also impressed with the show as well, & now this game reminds me of it

love it when that happens! always by accident for me. sometimes I can see it's too late to get out of the way & I try to get it to go through my neck, & so far I always die. but I remember prevailing when I was like ten years old. I used to try to shoot their bullets as much as possible too

21690 wow, the luck element in this game is a killer without extra lives. sometimes just starting out touching a robot !! you have to run away immediately or else he might run into you. can't shoot because to extend your arm touches it & kills you. so what if it starts you out between the robot & a wall? run down, but if he also runs its too late. so I think it is basically a dice roll at the start of each stage, to give you an occasional "kill screen." but I have to say game 9 has revived my interest in playing Berzerk. It makes it more fun & exciting, I have been compulsively hitting reset when I lose

12380 nice job Botbird... this is rough

9530 10130 improving a bit Larcen, i know what u mean, what's the point? but i guess i have a cheap submission too? Wierd, it's tough... I played a crap-load of this game growing up & still pretty much getting trashed a few months ago I had a confuzing game of Berzerk!!! I was playing on the default setting, 1A (difficulty switches don't seem to matter tho), rolled the game back to the first level twice, and not long after that the screen flashed and the game reset! ??? what the... ... ... u gotta be... ! killscreen? no, I think people have recorded games going much farther glitch? power surge? rats.

thank you!!! so glad people are working on stuff like this would like to do so myself eventually my programming is coming along very slowly lots of things one can get into but its a brilliant hobby

Berzerk 6530 first series of attempts thought I had this game all wrapped up but i forgot about these other game selections this is really tough

272450 finally starting to improve again, maybe I can beat 300k? (final goal) have I mentioned jumping between the crab 3-paks & bird 3-paks? it's amazing but it happens to me occaisionally by luck with time tho I think I could get the feel for doing it intentionally

uh oh ! Berzerk I had a feeling... wow nice khryssom that icon looks amazing! so far my least favorite game is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I hate it because... it is terribly tedious and boring and doesn't actually even seem like a game really, more like a demo. but I guess it's a game. no multipliers or anything like that so the score just CRAWLS along, & same thing over & over & over... no fun! I am impressed with the movie & i like the cartridge & box... but hey, what happened the game seems very crappy

224130 no pic but I'm still improving =12 no bonus the TG scoreboard does report a rollage: 1,832,730 but you would have to believe in the Todd Rogers personally I do not doubt it perhaps it was a score using tricks or glitches or something not allowed here? but i think TG also forbids that kind of thing... so I'm thinking... I haven't watched the video yet. but maybe you can do it!

seriously! it looks & sounds great but i do think this game has been overrated. still it is not a bad game. like picnic or wabbit or coconuts. tho i did get a kick out of wabbit.

207730

glad i could help

unfortunately I got so caught into playing Frostbite, I missed the bus & did not improve my score

173160 189790 = 18 = 34 ! Oink grew on me & I decided i liked it a lot but I'm immediately hooked with this game & like it more thanks for the video & extra info Oyama! I think Lid probably has a good point about getting a bad habit by point-pressing early in the game however, with practice as Lid said unstopping, maybe it can still be profitable? if you can remember to adjust your strategy at the right time. many games I play like this, pressing for points until a point where I change what I'm doing when it gets tougher. I will start adding pics soon

did you know about clicking "More Reply Options" to upload a pic? just to the bottom right of your reply window hope that helps

123740 still mucking it up all over the place this game is extremely dangerous & also extremely generous with bonus lives, big plus

72850 =22 for bonus points wow this is another really good game I never played it growing up i'm just now getting the hang of it, great how you can swerve your jumps! so far hiding from the bear in the corner only works for me in the early stages
