THE HUMANOID

IS TAKING TOO LONG

The sound of numerous constant laser blasts is somehow very calming.

"Coin detected in pocket."
That end of game was brutal. Well done.

"Coins detected in pocket." Awesome.

The vocoderized voices are cool still to this day.

People seem to forget that this was the first ever game to feature voice acting. Not Sinistar. Even if Sinistar doesn’t sound anywhere as synthetic.

That looks like my workplace......
(Computer Voice) "The Intruder must not escape!"

Here's a game that needs the Arcade Archives treatment.

THE HUMANOID MUST NOT ESCAPE.
CHICKEN. FIGHT LIKE A ROBOT.
CHARGE IT.
INTRUDER ALERT INTRUDER ALERT.

prehistoric verity

1 like = 1 Berzerk Robot Saying: "Chicken, Fight like a Robot!"

The game started to drop a beat at 7:01

This was my favorite game as a kid in the 80s. I never got anywhere near as good as this guy.

This game gave me an adrenaline rush as a kid...some how it captured my mind inside this game...this and gorf..the sounds and voices.

This is one of those video games that actually could use a movie adaptation. With little to no official lore, it leaves a lot more room for the studio to use their imaginations to flesh things out and maybe even answer questions we never even thought to ask while playing the game! Who is this humanoid protagonist? What events led up to their current situation? What are their motives? Why have they intruded Evil Otto's base? And what about Otto himself? What happened that made him evil? What are his motives? Why does he rely on all these robots? What does he have against our hero/heroine? On top of all this, what's the setting? Where is this facility located? And of course, the title, Berzerk. How does that tie into everything?
I wish I could come up with answers, but I'm terrible at thinking, so...yeah, I think I need outside ideas...

Classic game. I never had the pleasure of playing it in an arcade, but I did play it on an Atari. Evil Otto is such a bastard, haha.

Rest in Heavenly Peace and Happy Birthday my high school friend Arthur who loved Berzerk

Damn 12 year olds believing evil otto actually kills people when somebody actually got into a car accident and another had a undiagnosed ccondition

I remember playing this, great game, got the adrenaline flowing...

So Evil Otto is the original "vibe check" joke...
