+therealbountybob Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 9000 from 2001 Orpheus scores -6999 A few more HINTS and Observations: I tried the 'fixed' ver of Berzerk on the 800XL (PAL), if I had to put money on it I'd say the game is slower than the 800 (PAL) (as I suspected), but by no means easier... didn't make over 6K [FANDAL will know about the game speed:?: ] No improved score but this happened: (wonder if it would put a baddie in here ) Anyone know about the 'end room' with a large smiley and 50 hits - has anyone ever seen this (at the arcade) do we have it in our game :!: Maniac! is way too tough (for me anyway) but I think it might be good fun in 2 player as has head to head action. You can position your arm before leaving a screen, ready for the next. 370 K-razy Shootout, if you're too slow the timer goes red and you get no bonus, yellow 300 bonus, not managed a screen on Green yet (I bet Deteacher has?!) Anyone work out the 50pts bonus counter is that for crashing into a baddie Berzerk KE is still fun for a quick go or two 5,470 p.s. Had a good game of Archon against Gwobby yesterday, despite killing of his sorceress early on he put up a good fight 'till the bitter and bloody end (joystick button packed up today though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Wow Berzerk KE kinda sucks... The final score I saw was 1450, but I remember passing 5000 during the course of the game. Did the score board flip over? A bit later... I saw the score board flip. I got as high as 1850. So would be 11850 on that. I can't believe it took XL memory to play such a crappy game.

BrianC Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Anyone know about the 'end room' with a large smiley and 50 hits - has anyone ever seen this (at the arcade) do we have it in our game :!: As far as I know, Berzerk doesn't have this, but, the sequel, Frenzy, has a room with a big evil otto. It's not a boss and can't be killed, but it sends a bunch of evil ottos at you if you destroy an evil otto (which can be killed in Frenzy).

Deteacher Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) K-razy Shootout, if you're too slow the timer goes red and you get no bonus, yellow 300 bonus, not managed a screen on Green yet (I bet Deteacher has?!) Anyone work out the 50pts bonus counter is that for crashing into a baddie If you finish the screen with a green timer, you gain a whopping 1000 bonus points. I can easily finish sector 1 with a green bonus bar. I've finished the first sector with 1.08 on the timer before, but I normally clear it with about 1.50 on the timer. If sector 2 is wide open, I can clear it with a green bonus bar. From sectors 3 on, I don't think it's possible. If the bar runs completely out, your game is over, regardless of how many lives you have, so get out if you're running our of time. However... If you leave the room before you kill off all the robots, you get no bonus points. Also, you have to repeat that sector and you don't score any points for any robots you kill while repeating that sector. That's pretty brutal, if you ask me, but it's better than running out of time and ending your game early. You get 50 points for each robot that is shot by another robot. You get 10 points for each robot that collides with another robot. Managed to improve on Maniac: 350! I thought I had this game licked when I learned how to let the baddies kill themselves off...until I saw that you don't get any points for them running into walls, or for shooting each other.

Fres Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I didn't think I was going to be able to register any scores, since I'm away from my Atari 8-bit stuff. A couple of rounds on Altirra, and I realized that I probably would've been better off not playing at all. Berzerk: 1440 Berzerk (KE): 3680 Shootout: 3140 Maniac: 50 Sheesh!

Deteacher Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 K-Razy Shootout High Score: 32,300! Rank: Blaster, Class 3! On level 7, I've found it's better to just find a spot and let them come to you. They just move too fast. I also noticed something. You can't have more than 4 guys in reserve. I made it to 20K without losing a life and I did not get the extra life at 20K. Of course, I died right after hitting 20K, but that's something worth noting.

Deteacher Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I've also had robots placed "in the box." And I caught this little screenshot just for fun. Otto's head on top of an exploding robot looks like a human! I don't think I'm going to be able to crack the 20K barrier. I got up to 14K without losing a life once, but once I lost that first life, my game was over before I knew it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianC Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I don't think the box is a glitch. If I remember correctly, it happens in the arcade too. I like tricking Otto into destroying his own robots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Amiga500 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 After much effort, swearing, and repeated punching of the couch in anger... I've come to the conclusion that it is impossible for me to get higher than my current 14,510. I've gotten between 10,000 to 14,000 around 50 times. It doesn't matter how much tea I drink (or coke I snort), quick reaction doesn't help when my frigging guy doesn't move nearly as fast as the bullets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Amiga500 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) It seems my conclusion was inaccurate. (regardless of how hard I punched the couch) I just got 16710. I desperately wanted to beat Deteacher, but on the last screen I got killed so fast that I'm sure I got shot before the screen was drawn. See also my "hall of shame" screenshot of failed attempts. Edit: oops - I accidentally dragged a duplicate into the "hall of shame" image, so here's a replacement. You definitely don't get an extra life at 15,000. The last guy on the screen killed me, but got hit by my bullet - giving bonus points that pushed me over 15,000. I remained dead though.

Mr.Amiga500 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I decided to try "non-violent Berzerk" - seeing how high I could get without shooting a single bullet. (it's like how Ghandi would play Berzerk) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
