Congrats to trbb on a fantastic Berzerk score!

thanks, it's a great game. I really felt the pressure I've no idea how someone got 28K

[+Cafeman]

I crossed the 10k boundary with 2 extra lives this time, and thought I had a chance at approaching tdbb's score, then lost them all zap-ZAP-ZAPP! Argh. Congrats trbb!

I tried again on Saturday, but couldn't top 4k. I swear I used to be better at this, but I really suck now. On the plus side, Berzerk is one of a very few games that I still really enjoy even though I'm terrible at it.

[BillyHW]

This game is pretty frustrating. You could be doing so well, and a couple of bad spawns into an impossible situation and it's all over in an instant.

This is my favorite Berzerk that I have played

I think the game would be best if they started you with 5 lives... especially on higher difficulty levels!

 

Seems like hiding in a corner is better then trying to shoot the robots, interesting strategy. lol...

I like to go across the screens L to R, that way you get famliar with the start position... often tucking in next to a wall at the start is a good idea. Try not to cross their paths and avoid the diagonals if possible, Did the A8 'scoot' feature work on the 5200 - where you wriggle the joystick e.g. into the diagonals TR R BR to move right quicker etc ?
