Berzerk
Berzerk is a 1982 Atari 2600 multidirectional shooter maze video game developed and released by Atari in the USA on August 8, 1982. It is based on the 1980 arcade video game, Berzerk, which was produced by Stern Electronics. The player controls a green stick-figure, representing a "humanoid." Using a joystick (and a firing button to activate a laser-like weapon), the player navigates a simple maze filled with many robots, who fire lasers back at the player character. A player can be killed by being shot, by running into a robot or an exploding robot, coming into contact with the electrified walls of the maze itself, or by being touched by the player's nemesis, "Evil Otto."
