    This game Rocked!

    By houtx1836 | Review Date: Jul 02, 2006 | 2600

    I loved this game (a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away). You are a stick man (again) in this game and run around electrified walls shooting robots. The robots would also shoot back. It was cool to get two robots to... Read Full Review

    Awesome classic!

    By Wolf-5 | Review Date: May 09, 2009 | 2600

    This is the very first video game I had ever played. To me, this was amazing. What else could you base it on? Though so simple, this game felt so good to play. All you do is walk around and kill mindless robots. In ... Read Full Review

    The first shoot-em up

    By wcfs25 | Review Date: Apr 05, 2006 | 2600

    First there was Berzerk. In my opinion Berzerk is truly the first shoot-em up. I agree that it is really just a small guy shooting at weird looking robots with a cool sounding lazer. The robots are really stupid and... Read Full Review

    The epic battle between stickmen and trashcan-shaped robots begins...

    By edranyesul | Review Date: Mar 13, 2006 | VECX

    With the bulky, uncomfortable Vectrex controller in my hands at the age of four, I wondered if gaming would ever be better than this. The screen was tiny, the graphics and sound both archaic by today's standards... of ... Read Full Review

    This is an ok game for the old 2600.

    By siferalmazy | Review Date: Feb 08, 2006 | 2600

    You are a guy that is trapped in an alien ship. You run around and shoot robots and find your way out. The graphics are arcadey just like all the other Atari games. There isn't much to this game but running around and... Read Full Review

    A great game for any classic gamer!

    By MUherd14 | Review Date: Feb 06, 2006 | 2600

    "Get the humanoid!" Bezerk is a great game. It was one of the first games that I consider fast-paced. Robotron would take it another step soon after. Also, you can't say the game isn't stressful, after all, this ga... Read Full Review

    It's you or them ready your laser and win the day.

    By mtdewtag | Review Date: Dec 19, 2005 | 2600

    Bezerk was you against a bunch of robots. You maneuvered around the screen attempting to blast them before they blasted you. Gameplay was pretty straightforward in this game. You used the joystick to avoid being bla... Read Full Review

    Smash TV 1982?

    By Jackrabbit_slim | Review Date: Aug 02, 2005 | 2600

    One of the 1st top down shooters I remember playing. Very similar to Smash Tv in layout and gameplay. You work your way from one top down level to the next shooting at increasingly more difficult robots in higher and h... Read Full Review
