Deteacher Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) A humanoid advances through many mazes by shooting as many robots as he can while being pursued by Evil Otto. Various phrases and sound effects can be heard throughout the game. Basically, Berzerk and Frenzy are the same game, but Frenzy has more to do. You not only go through many mazes with varying amounts of robots and firepower, but you go through actual rooms, each different. Plus, you can shoot through the segmented walls to create an exit, bounce shells (so can the robots) off of the solid walls, and shoot Evil Otto for points and make him dissappear, but beware because each time he comes back he moves faster than before, to the point you can't out run him. If you stay in one of the rooms too long, another Evil Otto comes at you from a different direction along with the original one! Also, the robots are much smarter than in Berzerk.

Blackjack Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Is the default setting extra life at 3,000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 I can't seem to get Frenzy to run at the moment. I've got the ROM in the same folder as all the other roms (which are working) but it's not picking up Frenzy. I need to update my MAME version anyway, so I'll keep working on it. To answer your question, Blackjack, IIRC, 3K is the default setting for the bonus life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) 13,807 My tips - it's easier to shoot Evil Otto if you're taking only up/down exits. If you're shooting him left/right then immediately after shooting towards him, move upward - this will move him into the line of fire.

Blackjack Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Is just me or this game doesn't have the sound working? My sound works, but I'm using an old version of Mame32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Is just me or this game doesn't have the sound working? My sound works, but I'm using an old version of Mame32. I updated my version of MAME32 (Actually, it's now MAMEUI) and the sound works on that. Looks like you get an extra life every 3K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
