Vectrex Berzerk

[Nateo]

Is it just me or is this incarnation of the game extremely difficult? The first few screens are easy enough, but I just can't get above roughly 8,000 points. When I get to that point, I eventually just appear in a screen where a robot is right in front of me and attacks me a split second after play begins, giving me virtually no time whatsoever to react. Is there some sort of strategy I'm missing out on here?

It's not just you.

It is difficult. On top of that your character moves s l o w....

[R.O.T.S]

I do recall the vectrex being one of the more difficult versions but the robot starting positions should still be random so it is probably just poor variance.

[Nateo]

Should I take it then that I'm probably SOL on breaking 8,800 points?

No, don't give up!

the vectrex version is really hard, in my oppinion its because the ai is really good, and your charecter is slow :/

I just wish this damn game would talk, like the original...

There is a hacked version that does - Verzerk. If you have a VecMulti you can get the ROM and play it.

My personal high score is 10,850 ... don't know if that's decent or just average. Wondering what other people's high-scores are, for reference?

It will be called the AtariVox+. It has VecVoice, VecVox and AtariVox modes.

 

AX will be building and distributing them (as soon as he has time).
